Can't create automation task if condition of assignee is empty or unassigned

[Anthony Bryle Poncio]

I was trying to automate the assignee when they didn't put any on assign field.

But it seems it's a required field on JIRA although the placeholders says leave it blank if I want it to be unassigned or empty.

here's the screenshot:

Sorry guys,my bad. Apologies for that wrong vocabulary.

I mean columns, not swimlane.

I changed it in the description.

Ah, now I understood your question. But I'm sorry, I've never heard of something like this.

I wouldn't use more than one status for one column, it's impossible to handle such a configuration with the board's drag-and-drop-functionality.

The boards do not have any way to do side-by-side columns.

Hi @David Eisenrauch,

maybe I don't understand your question right, but what you describe as "in progress" and "waiting" are the board's columns. You need a status for them.

A swimlane is only a horizontal separator.

@Thomas Schlegel If I understood correctly , The requirement is to split coulmns horizontally. 

Why do we need this....

When we start with a ticket or Userstory we would move it to In-progress. But It is not always guaranted that we will complete it ..Sometimes due to dependency on other team member's inputs who is not availabe or may be some infra related delay migth happen during that time insteading of keeping the ticket in inprogress we might want to park it in follow up starte, so if we split In-progress column and take a new ticket which might not affect our WIP limit.

Also adding verical column for each intermediate state would take so much space and annoying.....

This is a genuine feature we might require.
