We have a long running JIRA project (TOPS) with an associate workflow that is only utilised by that project. However, only in the last 7 days, new issues created under this project are no longer defaulting to the default user (unassigned). Instead, created issues are all defaulting to the project lead.
The Project Lead is myself and the Default Assignee is Unassigned. I have tried to reverse these values and reset back to correct settings (above), but this has made no difference. I have also added the post-function to purge the assignee field, but again, this has made no difference and the new tickets/issues still set the default assignee to the project lead as opposed to the actual Project Default User (UNASSIGNED).
Any help greatly appreciated.
