Is it possible to assign a group to an issue? I am writing a plug-in function that generates subIssues. I've seen others' code that assigns the subIssues to specific people; but not groups. Instead of: User sampleUser; sampleUser = UserUtils.getUser(samplePerson); subTaskIssue.setAssignee(sampleUser); Is there something like this that I could use: Group sampleGroup; sampleGroup = "ABCGroup"; subTaskIssue.setAssignee(sampleGroup); The API specifies the method signature: public void setAssignee(String assignee)
