Hi, I would like to assign all existing unassigned tickets (globally) that are not in the 'Done' state to the creator of the ticket
Here you go Carl,
you insert a trigger, manual or scheduled. Use an IF Block with something like "statusCategory NOT IN (Done) AND assignee IS EMPTY" and then assign the issue.
But keep the limitations for automations in mind.
You can also use the "ISSUE REPORTER" in the assign the issue to. That would maybe fit more.

And here it is a little bit more detailed:

Hi @Carl Alde ,
Welcome to Community :)
You can even use a scheduled trigger and set this up so that it will run as per the scheduled time set and assign the ticket
You can check this article: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/jira-automation-rule-to-auto-assign-issues-based-on-role-or-group-1384127370.html on how to auto assigned issues based on role or groups.
Things to Note:
Error assigning issues
XXX-123: (Unable to assign tickets to user 'userid'. (assignee))
Thank You,
Prachi

Hi @Carl Alde -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
Doing such an assignment with an automation rule is easy, although it will potentially consume much of your monthly automation usage allocation if your site has many such issues, given your Standard license level. If that happens, all of your rules will halt processing for the remainder of the month!
However, I wonder: why do this?
What problem are you trying to solve by doing this? Knowing that may help the community to offer better suggestions.
Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Carl - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
I create a generic "bulk update" rule that I keep handy. When not running right then, I just disable it.
Create a rule with a Scheduled trigger. Chose any time period that you want.
Add a JQL for what you are dealing with, like in your case: project = ABC and assignee is empty
Then add an action for Edit Issue. I think this gives you better results in a case like this than the Assign Issue action. Select the Assignee field.
Click the 3 dots to the right of the Assignee field and select Copy
Then click on the resulting words of Current issue. You will get a popup.
Change the Field to copy value from to Reporter.
Update/Turn on your rule and give it a name.
The click the 3 dots menu at the upper right next to Return to rules and choose Run rule to run immediately. When it is done, just toggle off the rule so it doesn't run all of the time.
In the future you can change out the field that you are copying values to/from for any easy bulk update with rules.
