Stop "Automation for Jira" to automatically become assignee

[Jesper Kjær]

I am trying to make some automations for our Jira and I wanted to create one when a sub-task got moved from "To Do" to "In Progress", the parent task would do the same. 

The transition automation works perfectly fine, but Jira automatically deletes the current assignee and changes it to "Automation for Jira", no matter what setting I choose. 

Am I doing something wrong here? I merely want the current assignee to still be the same assignee after the automation is triggered. 

Thanks!

You don't really need a script for that. Just use a command like:

--action runFromList --common "--action deleteProject --project @entry@" --list ab,abc --continue

Similarly for users. If the names are in a file you could use runFromCsv instead.
