Ah, this is the problem with working from memory. Sorry.

I tried to send a screen shot but apparently it didn't transcribe.

Transition: Create Issue

Always set it to the same person? Or just set the default and allow users to override it?

Ah, good, that's easy - add a post-function to the workflow create transition that says "set assignee = X"

IT Licensing January 1, 2014

Thanks for that. I did go down that road in Workflow and added a Post function. But I don't get Assignee=X I only see Assign as "current user" "Lead Developer" or "Reporter".

There should be a post function called "set field value" - that will offer you "assignee" as one of the fields.

IT Licensing January 2, 2014

Any that worked like a charm. Thank you so much

I see no "set field value"

Unless your admin has completely disabled it somehow, then I can guarantee you that it's there. If it's not, then you should be seeing problems with your resolutions not being cleared when you re-open issues. Where are you looking?
