Can't create an Issue Collector when "Allow unassigned issues = OFF"

[T.B.]

As I can't create a Bug because I don't have the "assign issue permission", I createt a suggestion:

JSWSERVER-16661

Jira Server 7.10.1 Bug:

Component:

Issue Collector

Problem:

When creating an issue collector after pressing "submit" the page don't switch to the next. Without any errors, it just stayed at the current one.

Cause:

Global option "System -> General Configuration => Allow unassigned issues = OFF"

Workaround:

"Allow unassigned issues = ON"

Hello Shannon,

thank you for your answere.

Although I can't understand why the issues from the issue collector aren't auto assigned to the project lead, or the author. Or why there isn't a default option to select a user?

Hey there,

If you follow the bug exactly, it should use the default that's set in this step:

1. Turn Allow Unassigned issues to Off
2. Create a new project, set the default assignee to Lead.
3. Add issue collector
4. Turn Allow Unassigned issues to On

Can you please clarify what issue you're currently having?

Regards,

Moin Shannon,

thanks for your reply. After reading the comments in the Bug it was working fine with the workaround mentioned there.

So I have no issue right now, thank you. I'm just confused why I need a workaround for a long known bug at all.

May link the bug within the documentation about the issue collector to save others some search time.

Thank you for taking the time to confirm that. 

I will submit your feedback for consideration.

Take care and have a pleasant week,

Shannon
