Automation rule subtask assigee should not be the same

I need to create automation rule in Jira like below:

When

Issue status = In progress and Subtask= Maker

Then

Sub task assignee='xyz'

When

issue status= In progress and Sub task=Checker

Then

Sub task assignee != 'xyz'

Please help me out as I am new to Jira.

Thankyou

Hello, Good day. In this case Checker and maker are two different sub-task issue type or its a field value in sub-task?

You want to the rule to trigger when the subtask is moved to "In progress" status?

In this case you can create a rule to trigger and status change and use if/else block.

Thank you for the comment.

Yes Maker and checker are 2 different sub tasks. So the main concern here is that if Maker =A then Checker != A.

Both assignee cannot be the same .
