because in fact, they are asking me, when creating an issue, in the summary field, to automatically pull the name of the assignee, and I would like to know, what type of smart values, I can use so that this can be done automatically

Hi @Alan Rodrigo -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Even though you heard, "they are asking me...", I recommend asking what problem they are trying to solve by doing this.  That may help to solve that problem rather than create a new one for synchronizing the summary and assignee as they change over time :^)

Until you learn that information...

All user fields, like assignee, have different attributes in the smart values: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-users/

One of them is the displayName, as in {{issue.assignee.displayName}} and that could be added to a field using the text functions or simple concatenation with an issue edit action:

{{issue.somefield}} -- {{issue.assignee.displayName}}

 

Kind regards,
Bill
