Can you turn off the automated assignee feature in JIRA Agile?

[Shane Poole]

Is there a way to turn off the feature that automatically updates the asignee when you move an issue in JIRA Agile so that it stays as the same assignee?

[Henning Tietgens · Accepted solution]

You can remove the checkmark for the option "Auto assign - Enable the auto assign on card transition in the TaskBoard" in the JIRA Agile Configuration of the plugin (Administration - Plugins section). But this is a setting for all boards.

And it only is for classic boards...

For rapid boards IMO there is no such automatism. If the assignee is changed, it's done by a postfunction of the corresponding workflow transition. In this case, you have to change the workflow postfunction.
