We need to set the default value of the Assignee field as currently logged user in the create issue screen. The field must auto populate with the currently logged user, how can we achieve this functionality?

Here is a  feature request that was closed as "won't fix": https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-3967

A workaround is to have a post function in your workflow(s) and set the assignee to the current user. Or you can create an automation rule (if you have automation for Jira) and set the assignee in a rule.
