unassign trigger action

Overview

One or more trigger actions can be set for a named event in the workflow.

When the workflow trigger event occurs the trigger will check that any required conditions are met, and if met the unassign action unassigns one or more users as reviewers to a named approval.

"unassign"

The trigger action "assign" will assign a user to a named approval.

• action (unassign) 
• approval (string) Name of the Approval to assign. If not specified, default approval will be used†
• comment (string) Comment for the assignation operation
• assigner (string) Atlassian  userID for the assigner
• user (string) ❗️ Atlassian  userID to assign (or a user type workflow parameter)

❗️ indicates a mandatory parameter -  the assignee user parameter value must be specified with the unassign action parameter.

† If no approval is specified in the trigger action, the default approval is the approval in the state named in the trigger event condition. If there are multiple approvals in the state, the default approval is the first approval listed in the JSON markup.

"triggers:"
[
	{"event": "on-change-state",
	"conditions":
	[
		{state: "Draft"}
	],
	"actions":
	[
		{"action": "unassign",
			"approval": "Triagereview",
			"user": "5d52a37ef0f22a0da2d6f070"}
	]}
]

 if adding the JSON trigger using workflow builder there is no need to include the opening "triggers:" JSON markup notation, since It will be added by workflow builder.

The trigger action "assign" will assign a one or more users from a named approval.

At least one user must be specified

Example

We can use the unassign action to unassign a user as a reviewer in a state with multiple approvals.

For example in the following Rejected state we have two approvals, each with assigned reviewers.

Adding the following JSON trigger to the applied workflow using workflow builder

[{"event":"on-reject",
	"conditions":[{"state":"Rejected"}],
	"actions":[
		{"action":"unassign",
			"user":"5e6f8b4817c6640c385edb5e",
			"comment":"unassigned user"}
			  ]
}]

• listens for a rejected event ("on-reject") in the Rejected state ("condition":"state":"Rejected")
• when a single rejected event occurs, the trigger unassign action removes an assigned user (identified using their Atlassian userID)

As the approval is not named in the trigger action, the assigned user is removed from the default approval, Primary.

The unassignment of the reviewer is recorded in workflow history for the document.

In this example, a rejected event for any of the approvals in the named state will cause the unassign action to occur.
