Question

Whenever i edit the subtask issues the screen sets the assignee’s value from reporter field.

for ex: if reporter is xxx and assignee is yyy . When i edit this sub-task issue the screen shows that assignee=xxx.

Any solution for this?

Answer 1

Not sure why this happens to you, i tried to reproduce it but works fine for me.

Do you have any plugins? any custom field scipts? any post function script?

Anyway, you can solve that by one of the following ways:

1. Post function script as explained here
2. Plugin like Behaviours Plugin or Jira Scripting Suite
3. Add a custom filed, edit it’s description and add a jQuery script that will set the assignee option

If you need any help or have question on any of the solutions feel free to ask.
