JIRA 7.8 reverts to project lead as assignee no matter what

Question

I have googled and found all the suggested solutions. Changing permissions, changing default assignee and nothing has worked, the assignee always reverts back to the project lead. As i stated, I have even changed the default assignee to 'unassigned' and it still places the project lead as the assignee, even if I assign it to someone else.

Something to consider, I created a new project and then an issue for that project for testing and I was able to assign to anyone, is there some secret setting I need to change on an existing project to be able to assign it to anyone?

I have not checked the post functions yet, how would I do so?

Thanks!

@Jess Beitler

Have you had the chance to check the workflow transitions especially the post functions?

Yeah, I am thinking it is somewhere in the transition. It will let me put an assignee when I am creating the ticket and then when I hit "create" and it takes me to the actual ticket screen, it shows assignee as the project mgr (not the person I assigned to)
