Use case
When doing a lot of manual work, some steps can be forgotten from time to time, even if they are tightly related to each other, e.g. transitioning an issue to "In Development" when the assignee is changed to a user in the "Developers" project role. In this example we will configure a rule that will automatically transition those issue.

Create a new rule and name it appropriately.
Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.
Add a Trigger → Field Changed Event
