Always set it to the same person? Or just set the default and allow users to override it?

Ah, good, that's easy - add a post-function to the workflow create transition that says "set assignee = X"

IT Licensing4

Thanks for that. I did go down that road in Workflow and added a Post function. But I don't get Assignee=X I only see Assign as "current user" "Lead Developer" or "Reporter".

I tried to send a screen shot but apparently it didn't transcribe.
