assigneeType field in addComponent

[Suddenelfilio]

Hello,

I am wondering what this field is for? I tried leaving it empty since
it does not correspond with any of the ui input fields when creating a
component, but then the call fails. When I fill in a random number the
call succeeds and as far as I can see the component is created.

regards,

Filip

Most likely (but I don't have much more info on it) it is the ID to
select the type of assignment that has to be made when a new issue for
this component is created, and no explicit assignee is provided. After
creating a component to your project you can configure this assignment
clicking on 'Select assignees for components', where the column
'Default Component Assignee' should be quite informative. I don't know
what values set up what options, but maybe you could figure that out
experimentally? I'd start with 0, 1 etc. and if that doesn't work, go
for 10000, 10001 etc. as the default ID-counters in Jira data often
start at 10000
I have been using 0 giving 'Project Default'.

Funny, I was just wondering about that very field yesterday. It's set
to zero in all the test code for MutableProjectComponent, which is
what the ProjectComponentManager class creates using it.
I bet it's for what Ath suggested and these values are eventually found in:

[mdoar@mdoar2-3 atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.1.1-source]$ grep public
./jira/src/java/com/atlassian/jira/project/AssigneeTypes.java
public static final long PROJECT_DEFAULT = 0;
public static final long COMPONENT_LEAD = 1;
public static final long PROJECT_LEAD = 2;
public static final long UNASSIGNED = 3;

Thank you Matt, for the quick find!
