how to set the default assignee when creating a new issue Follow
Hello
Is there a simple way to automatically set the default assignee when creating a new issue to the person who created the issue?
In our case, people usually log their own tasks and they will later handle the issues.
Currently when I create a new issue, the default value is "unassigned".
Using a single default assignee (i.e. John Doe) is same as having no default assignee.
thanks in advance!

Hello,
This can be achieved via workflows.
Here is a simple on-change workflow rule that checks that the issue is created and copies the issue reporter to the "Assignee" field:
var entities = require('@jetbrains/youtrack-scripting-api/entities');
exports.rule = entities.Issue.onChange({
title: 'Reporter-assignee',
guard: function(ctx) {
var issue = ctx.issue;
return issue.becomesReported;
},
action: function(ctx) {
var issue = ctx.issue;
issue.fields.Assignee = issue.reporter;
},
requirements: {
Assignee: {
type: entities.User.fieldType
}
}
});
thank you very much! tested and works!
