I want to change assignee of the issue when change state to some project role. How to do it?

Question

Preconditions:

I have the Cloud server.
I have statuses: "In progress" and "Ready for QA" in my flow. I have the project Role "Tester".  I have a transition "Complete dev" from "In progress" to "Ready for QA"

The problem:

I want to add a "postfunction" so to change Assignee from the developer to ROLE "Tester".

When I try to do it I do not see an option to change Assignee to Project role.

How to change Assignee to Project Role, not component lead and not to a specific person?

@Bill Sheboy thank you for your assist. But I sure that I have managed my JIRA project by roles 3-4 years ago. Maybe it is a feature for Server or Enterprise versions only :-( I provided part of the screen where you can see "Assign to role member". When I can see my cloud version I see only options to assign to Reporter, Lead, or Current User. :-(

I want to understand why I have no full options list.

Thank you for your time and good answer.

Hi, and sorry that you disagree with me.  I was not sharing my opinion: I was sharing how JIRA works in regards to the Assignee field.

If your understanding of the documentation is that JIRA is not working correctly, please submit a support ticket to Atlassian here:

Hi @Bill Sheboy ,

I do not agree with you. Very bad Idea to link Assignee to a person. I want to create a general workflow for ALL my projects. I need to change an Assignee of the project to the Lead of my testers. I do not want to copy the workflow and configure each project separately. It is too long. I saw in documentation that possible to set Assignee to a project role.
