The Scheduler now has a feature to select author of auto generated comments in issues generated by workflow triggers. Previously there was only an anonymous author there.
IMPORTANT NOTE → Anonymous will appear as author if the selected user in some project does not have proper adding comment permission or for some reason getting the right user fails.
Possible options:
Scheduled Issue creator
Scheduled Issue reported
Scheduled Issue assignee
User with permissions to create comments or anonymous
Author from global settings (possible in project settings view by clicking on restore button or when editing in project is disabled)Creator
Owner
Assignee
Reporter
User
For example you can:
Create Scheduled Issue with workflow trigger type and your desired issue type, source and target status.
...
2. Execute this Scheduled Issue to create Issue
...
Change created issue status
...
Perform transition selected in trigger
New Issue should be created.
Newly created issue should contain a comment with proper selected author in settings.
...
Global settings: (only for users with admin permission)
1. Click manage appsManage Apps
2. Click ,,Global Settings” in the bottom section of settings.
3. Select your desired author.
...
Clicking restore button will display a dialog with proper information about restoring author logic (global author is restored to anonymous but it does not affect any project settings unless you uncheck enable editing checkbox and press save with for example restored settings)
...
Additionaly Additionally you can choose whether author settings could be editable in projects settings. Changing author in projects settings is impossible when the checkbox is not checked, and therefore the author is selected from global settings (example below).
...
Select your project
Go to project settings
Go to settings (at the bottom in ,,The Scheduler” section)
Now you can select proper author type using radio buttons. Selecting user option will show another select in which you can select your desired author.
Additionaly Additionally clicking ,,restore” will restore project comment author to the global settings author.
