How to assign automatically a new issue to the filtered user

Question

Hi all !

I'm trying to understand how can we automate a task creation to be assigned to the user that's filtered in a Company-managed project.

When in a team-managed project this is done automatically, we filter a user, then press create issue and the issue is assigned to the filtered user.

However for teams that are using company-managed projects, this feature is not present, and the assignee has to be added manually every time a new issue is created.

Is there any option to activate this?

Do we need to create an automation rule?

If so, how can we configure it ?

Thank you

Community Leaders know a lot about the products, and many of us keep notes about Atlassian backlog items that are of interest to us, but we are not Atlassian employees and don't necessarily keep track of the entire backlog. :-)

I saw that you're a community leader that's I asked.

Yeah, I'll do that for sure!

Thanks for your help

There is no way to create an automation that will assign a newly issue based on the currently selected assignee-filter of a board.

I don't know if there is a change requests in Atlassian's backlog to automatically assign newly created issues to an Assignee selected by filter in a board for a Company Managed project. I am just another user of the Atlassian products, not an Atlassian team member.

I recommend that you ask your Jira Administrator to contact Atlassian support directly to find out if such a change request exists.
