Assignee will change to myself when i move a story

[Dayananda Venkatesha]

HI Guys

We have a project set up in Jira. In a sprint, there are many stories available in the TODO, INPROGRESS, and DONE  status. When anyone starts moving the stories from todo to inprogress or inrpgress to Done etc. the assignee of the story is automatically changing to the person who is moving it. Not sure something is wrong or i missed something. Please suggest me if any workflow settings are not taken care.

Please let me know for any details.

Thanks

Daya

It seems that the workflow transition between To Do and In Progress statuses has a post-function which assigns the issue to the user performing the transition.

If that behaviour doesn't match your needs, you may edit the workflow and remove that post-function from the transition.

Hope it helps.

HI Ignacio

The problem here is, I see step names and Linked statuses as Open, In Progress, resolved, Reopened and Closed. But when I open our Project board, I see 3 columns(Todo, Inprogress and Done) which are mapped as below.

 open and reopened --Todo Column

InProgress-- In Progress Column

Resolved and Closed-- Done Column.

when I open the workflow, I am not seeing column related setting, but status related. I think the mess has been created, or i am not clear on this.

Please let me know if you need any screen shot on this.

Thanks

Hi Daya,

That's absolutely normal.

If yoy are seeing steps, then you are in Text mode. Change to workflow's Diagram mode.

Once you click Edit to see the workflow's draft in Diagram mode, click on the In Progress status and then on post-functions link, which will be displayed in a panel on the right side.

Remove the post functions which set the Assignee.

Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot Ignacio. I found the condition, but I am bit worried as what will happen if I delete this condition(one of the post functions).

the condition : Assign the issue to the current user. Please note that the issue will only be assigned to the current user if the current user has the 'Assignable User' permission.

I am ready to remove this post function, but just to be safer side, i wanted to know what is 'Assignable User' permission.

If you can explain or any relevant link to know this, that would be great.

Thanks Again

Daya

Hi Daya,

You can safely remove the post-function.

Assignable Issue permission is just a way to check whether or not a user can be assigned an issue of a specific project.

One user can be an assignable one in some projects, and a not assignable one in other ones.

Google for Jira Permission Scheme for more information on this subject.

Best regards!
