When to use this automation rule and when to use a workflow post function?

This use case is very useful if you need to re-assign issues across different projects and issue types.

If you only need to re-assign issues in one dedicated project or issue type context, using the Assign to project role workflow post function might be the better alternative.

Add a Trigger → Issue transitioned event

Add Boolean condition and enter the following Parser Expression*

%{trigger.issue.status} = "Draft"

Add Action → Assign issue

After importing the JSON file, make sure to check the configuration of the rule. Non-existing configuration elements (issue types, fields, values etc.) will be highlighted.
