Hi,
I’m looking for for a solution to get the “Project Lead” of the project in exalate.
issue.assignee = nodeHelper.getUserByUsername(“User1”) would return a specific user to the assignee field.
However, I would like to have the main “Project Lead” or the default assignee to be the assignee while an issue is created in Jira with exalate.
May be something like: issue.assignee = nodeHelper.getProjectLead(“…”).
BR,
Sujan

The project field has the lead as attribute
https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/Project
What you can do is
issue.assignee = issue.project.lead
But watch out. During first sync, issue.project is unknown (because at that stage the project is not set)
To guard against this - you should use the nodeHelper to lookup the project, and then extract the lead
issue.assignee = nodeHelper.getProject(issue.projectKey)?.lead
Let me know if this helps
