how to make default assignee equal the reporter

[Robert Matthews]

One of my teams need to automatically assign incoming issues to the reporter of that issue. Does Jira 4.3.4 support this configuration for a single project?

I think that would be pretty straightforward. Create a workflow with a post-function that sets assignee to reporter on issue creation, then assign the workflow to the project.

Thank you. As it is sometimes, you can get too close to the trees to see the forest.

Additionally, I would remove the assignee from the create screen, to avoid confusing users.

[Neal Applebaum]

Certainly, one could create permissions such that a user has Create but not Assign permission (e.g. as in helpdesk use). Then, the Assignee would be hidden from the create screen for these users. it all depends on the use case.

[Neal Applebaum]

See above. If you mean you want the assignee to SHOW on the create screen and default from the Reporter, I don't know if that could be done. Maybe via Javascript.

That sounds pretty straightforward. Create a workflow (or copy the one currently being used by that project) that has a post function on the create issue transition to set assignee to reporter. I'm using version 3.13, and even in that version there's an option "Assign to Reporter - Assigns the issue to the reporter".
