Enforce roles in Jira. Reopen / Assigned fields

[KP11]

When a record is reopened it gets assigned to the person who reopened it.

Is it possible to enforce roles so that if the record is reopened it stays assigned to the original person like the Developer listed in the Roles tab? It appears if a person reopens record they are assigned to it. We want to be able to Reopen to Developer who was assigned it originally

This looks like a workflow setting. Check your workflow post function for the reopen transition if it sets the assignee.

[KP11]

Here is the Transition in the workflow. Only see this : Fire a Issue Assigned event that can be processed by the listeners.

See below

This should not happen based on your workflow. If it does, then you should raise a support request.

This may require you to create a custom post function. Have not come across any post function that does this. Maybe if you search around, you'll find one.
