Hello,

You would need an app for it like Power Scripts, ScriptRunner, Automation for Jira and so on.

@PVS  gave an example with ScriptRunner or any app, that supports groovy.

If you want to use the Power Scripts app, then you could create a post function with a code like this:

if (isNull(assignee)) {

assignee = reporter;

}

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.*
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

def assignee = getFieldById(ASSIGNEE)
def reporter = getFieldById(REPORTER)

assignee.setFormValue(reporter.getValue())
