Assign issue to the last assignee on transition

Use case

When an issue is transitioned to 'Draft' status, the issue will be assigned to the last assignee from the project role 'Developers'

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.

In Add trigger choose Issue Transitioned Event → Condition → Boolean condition.

Expression*

Use the following parser expression

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

and click on Add

Next to the Boolean condition click on Add → Action → Assign Issue

Choose User in Project Role as an Assignee*

Choose Developers as Project role

Click on add, and then activate the rule by clicking on the activate rule button →

This is how the configuration above should look on your screen
