issue.GetField("Assignee").AsCollection() returns a List<string> with "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[YouTrackSharp.Issues.Assignee]", rather than the actual Assignee name

How many assignees does the issue have?

[MarkHutchings]

Just one!

For now I'm doing: var list = (List<Assignee>)issue.GetField("Assignee").Value;

perhaps that's the preferred solution?

[maartenba]

You can just get the issue.Assignee[0] as well.

[MarkHutchings]

Ah, that works if the type is dynamic (i.e. issue.AsDynamic().Assignee[0]).

I have a wrapper class anyway so it's fine for me to do this:

    if( _native.GetField( "Assignee" ).Value is List<Assignee> list )
        return list[0].UserName;
