Thanks Nic. I removed toString function from last line and it work according to my requirement.

You need to set the assignee as User object, not a display name or login id.

Thanks Phill, I have added following code under "Post function" but still not working. Please let me know if something is missing in code.

----------------------------------

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.*

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

import com.atlassian.core.util.DateUtils

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.history.ChangeItemBean

def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance();

def changeHistoryManager = componentManager.getChangeHistoryManager();

def changeItems = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "assignee");

def firstAssigned;

def assigneeName;

if(changeItems !=null && !changeItems.isEmpty()){

ChangeItemBean ci = (ChangeItemBean) changeItems.get(0);

assigneeName = ci.getFrom(); // name

String assigneeFullName = ci.getFromString();// full name

def assignedTime = ci.getCreated().getTime();

firstAssigned = assignedTime;   issue.setAssigneeId(assigneeName.toString())

}
