JQL for adding reporter as assignee for unassigned ticket

[prasant.dubey]

I want to add ticket reporter as by default assignee in case of unassigned tickets

Hi @prasant.dubey and welcome to the community,

You can't do that by using JQL. JQL yields issues.

What you want is either use Jira automation to create a rule for newly created issues, and to place the reporter as assignee (provided that the reporter has the corresponding permissions), OR

create a post function within your workflow to do the exact same thing.

Thank you for the guidance, Alex.
