Why does it auto-reassign an issue to the project owner when an issue is moved on a kanban board? And how do I change this to retain the assigned user when an issue is moved?
You might check your workflow and see if the transitions have post functions which are assigning the issue.
A screenshot of the workflow is attached. I don't know what I'm looking for or what to change. Can you advise?

If you switch to graphical view on the workflow I think it is easier to follow. When you move an issue to In Progress I suspect you are clicking a button called Start Progress. This button executes a transition. Click on the transition labelled Start Progress in the workflow diagram. A dialog box should appear showing the details for the transition. Click on post-functions.
The list of post functions for that transition should be displayed. Check the names on them and see if any are set up to change the assignee.

Hi Chris
The issue is caused by the 3rd post function. It says Assign the issue to the lead developer. If you were using components and had component leads assigned this would assign the issue to the component lead. If you are not using component leads, then it actually assigns the issue to the project lead...or at least that is what I expect is happening.
To resolve this just delete the 3rd post function. Hover over the right hand side of that row and you should see some icons - click the X icon to delete it. Your workflow will be in draft mode so don't forget to click the Publish Draft button.
