How can I unset the assignee when showing the requesting feedback screen?

Is there a possibility to unset the assignee field when showing a transition screen?

Unassigned issues are not allowed in our JIRA instance.

 

Use case:

When requesting feedback I often forget to also set the new assignee, which requires another edit of the issue and so another email. This is annoying so I want to force me and all other users to choose the assignee. Setting the assignee element to an invalid state would solve the issue.

Post-transition is AFAIK no solution.

You can't.  You've turned off the ability to have unassigned issues, so there will always be an assignee.

The best you could do is in a workflow validator that can detect when a user does not change the assignee on a transition and blocks them from continuing until they've done it.
