TEXT type
USER type
Variables of the USER type contain the selected User id so it can be used in the user picker types of fields:
Reporter
Assignee
People (the multiple user picker field)
To create a USER type of variable click the Add button in the Variables section of the Hierarchy and then click the type selector and elect the USER item.
Select the Variable Name (should not contain spaces and $ symbol) and Default Value (may be any user, as it is always possible to change on the Confirmation dialog).
After the USER type of variable is added its name will be added to the user selector fields of the Hierarchy Node.

For now, usage of the USER type of variables does not give any preferences while entered in the text fields - it will return a user id after the Hierarchy is applied. |
After clicking the Apply Hierarchy button the USER type of Variables will be shown on the Confirmation dialog the same way as it is for the TEXT type of Variables, so it is easy to change the Default Value to another user. The Hierarchy can use these variables:
To use variables in the Hierarchies, you need to type $var in the ‘Create/Edit Node’ dialog, to see all available variables that can be used.
Or you can type the sign $ and the name of the variable that you want to use. For example $time $company
After applying the Hierarchy the value for the variables will be applied automatically. The Jira Issue will have values of the selected variables
