Do you mean, if an issue is created with an assignee, skip "Open" and jump straight to "In Progress"?
That can be done by editing the 'Create' workflow transition, adding a "Fast track transition an issue" post-function as the last post-function, with action 'In Progress' and a condition "issue.assignee != null".
