Assign to Unassigned when the Issue is Closed/Resolved

[Vlad Tokarev]

I do not see a way of setting the Assignee to "Unassigned" automatically when the issue is Closed. Any suggestions?

The Clear Field Value in the transition post function will solve this issue.

Thank you - worked nicely

Probably you can try to add a post-function for the Closed/Resolved transition in the workflow that updates the Assignee field to be "Unassigned".

Not possible. Here are the only post-function options I see:

Add Post Function To Transition

Well, actually the Clear Field Value option does it. Once I selected it, it will offer a field to clear - which would be the Assignee.

So this is resolved. Thanks!
