JIRA. Creating ticket. Change assignee which is predefined in Workflow.

Question

Hey fellas.

Could you please advice if one can change default assignee, which is defined in workflow on "Create Issue" transition?

The purpose is that: normally to create tickets with assigned to `nobody-user', and be able to change assignee if possible?

Thank you,

Ivan.

Hello Muhammad,

Thing is I configured workflow so if person didn't change (in fact even if he/she changes assignee), post function "Update Issue Field" anyway assigned it to predefined user, for me it's `nobody'.

And Project Manager wants to be able to change assignee, or leave it to `nobody' if he desires to change assignee later, that's the case.

Tomasz,

I think this must be the way, but I just thought I could do it simply with JIRA tools
