Description
When setting the project lead (http://docs.atlassian.com/rpc-jira-plugin/latest/com/atlassian/jira/rpc/soap/beans/RemoteProject.html#setLead(java.lang.String)) using the soap API, the default assignee is also set (to project lead).
What's worse, the 'People' Admin UI shows the incorrect value.
To replicate:
- Configure JIRA to allow unassigned issues
- Set a TEST project, with a project lead but no default assignee.
- Run the attached script (you might need to change user or project)
- Note that in 'people', the default assignee is still unassigned.
- Edit the people, and edit the default assignee. Notice that when editing, the default assignee is project lead.
- Create an issue. Notice that the default assignee is the project lead.
