Welcome to community.  Try the following syntax - {{issue.My custom field name}}.  In your rule, if you are using smart value in your JQL stmt, then you'll need to make sure it evaluates to a proper JQL.

I would recommend to use the Log Action to try to create you JQL string and then test out the JQL manually to make sure it's valid. e.g you might need to add quotes around the JQL to make it work in some cases

e.g. 

assignee = '{{issue.your custom field name}}'  

I assumed that the custom field is a string?

Hope this helps.
