Hello all. In my workflow, at the end of the creation step, issues enter status Pending Approval. Since issues need to be approved before being assigned, I have a property for this status that only the allowed group can change the issue fields. To stop people assigning issues to people before they have been approved, I added a post function to this transition, to assign all issues to myself. However, when a user selects "Assign to Me" when creating an issue, somehow they are able to bypass this, and the issue is not reassigned to me after creation.
I even tried changing the rule to "Clear Field: Assignee", but this does not appear to work either. Any suggestions as to whats going on?
