Plugin for auto assignment in JIRA

Question

Hi All,

I am just querying if there is currently a plugin on the market that will do the below:

When an issue is clicked/viewed it will automatically assign it to that person.

I know it is possible to assign upon transition from open to in progress but ideally I need something that will do it a an earlier stage than this.

Thanks

This is actually functionality that currently exist in our instance, it was written as a custom built plugin.

However we are looking at upgrading and the plugin is no longer compatible and the company that wrote it are no longer around.

Sorry I should have been a bit clearer in my question , we only require it to be assigned to the first person that views it.

@Chantelle Webley,

Looks like this feature is not feasible. What should happen, if multiple people are viewing the same ticket. do you want to assign to multiple people.
