Jira userhistroyitem database table

Question

Hi,

Recently we discovered the userhistoryitem table in Jira, that allows us to see when certain issues, projects and JQL Queries were last viewed. However it also has an item for 'Assignee' does anyone know what this is for?  Not sure how you can view an assignee...

It stores the name of the users whom you recently assigned an issue. In the Assignee drop list, these names will appear in the top along with UnAssigned and Automatic.
