Hello @Amit Patil 

From where are you looking for to change the assignee, while creating a ticket? while viewing it?

In case that the Assignee field is not being shown, you need to check your Create, Edit and View screens if you are a Jira administrator and using company-managed projects.

You also need to have Assign Issues permission if you are in your company managed project. The person that you are assigning the issue to needs to have Assignable Issues permission.

Create sample screen

View screen Assignee

Hello @Amit Patil ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community :)

To be able to change the assignee of a workitem or assign a work item, you need to have Assign Issue permission on space where the work item belongs to.

Also make sure, the user to whom you are assigning the work item, that user should have Assignable user permission on the space where the work item belongs to, else, you wont be able to locate the user while assigning.

Thank you

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

In order to Assign or change the Assignee of a work item, you'd need to have the Assign Issues and Edit Issue permissions on the Project.

Thank you!
