Jira ServiceDesk tickets are auto assigning

[Cindy Lusby]

I'm having an issue where my Jira ServiceDesk tickets are showing as assigned to me in the assignee field when getting auto generated emails, but when I go to the ticket itself it shows unassigned. Any idea what the issue could be? I'm new to using JiraServiceDesk. Thank you.

Hi, did you check 'Project settings -> Details' then at the bottom if you are labeled as the 'Default Assignee'?  Doesn't really explain why the ticket is unassigned but maybe why you are getting those emails.

I would also be highly interested what is visible from "History" tab of a specific issue.
When the user's name is appearing in an auto-generated mail one must assume that the user name was set as assignee as the time the mail was sent.
After that seeing assignee as empty must basically mean "something" changed the assignee.

@Cindy Lusbycan you confirm this from looking at issue's history?

We created the custom rule to have the default assignee as unassigned but the notification emails are saying I'm assigned. But in the portal it says unassigned. The history shows the admin assigned the ticket to me but he did not.

When the history shows the admin assigned you an issue while in fact he is not aware he did this only some kind of automation is possible. This could come through an App or just a workflow postfunction.
