How do you set the current user to the "Assigned To" field using Assignment rules?

[warren_chan]

I'm using an Assignment rule to populate the "Assignment group" field, and thought I could set the "Assigned to" field to be the current user while I'm at it. I thought this would be a simple statement, like:

current.assigned_to = gs.getUser();

but this doesn't seem to be working. I can get this working with a business rule (user as Dynamic Default of "Me"), but would prefer to use an Assignment rule instead. Any ideas?

Thanks!

This is correct. It does not like group handled in the "Assign To" tab and user handled in the "Script" tab. You can use one of those two tabs but not both.

Beware that second line: current.assignment_group.name = 'Network'

That statement doesn't select an assignment group, it tries to change the name of the currently selected assignment_group to "Network".

However, if this is in a "before update" business rule, it will have no effect because the assignment_group object is not being updated.

current.assigned_to = gs.getUserID();
current.update();
