What is the difference between"Asignee" and "Reporter"?

[Alicia Y]

In a project task, there will be a place for Asignee and Reporter, how should I decide who is the asignee and who is the reporter?

Hi @Alicia Y,

I use these two words like this:

Asignee is the executor of the issue, who performs and tracks this task.

Reporter refers to the initiator, he will always pay attention to the processing of this issue, and finally the Reporter confirms the solution of the issue and closes it.

When an issue is created the user creating the issue is automatically set as the reporter.
