When editing details of a task in PM, task gets auto assigned to person changing status

[SGill]

Hi there, 

In our weekly project meeting our manager shares his screen with us and discusses everyone's tasks and sometimes add details and changes status' on behalf of other people on the team's tasks.  He will change the status from Planning to To Do and it will auto assign to my manager, even though it's not his task nor does he want it assigned to him, but it seems that anytime someone goes into a task that is not assigned to them, and they change the status it auto assigned to the person changing the status.  We do not want this behavior and I cannot figure out why it does this or how to stop it. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi @SGill 

As you mentioned the tasks are getting assigned to your user whenever the status is getting updated.
Check for any post functions added in the transitions or any automation rules being used for this functionality.
