Summary

When adding the 'Assign to Default Role Member' post-function to the 'Create' transition of a workflow, the issue fails to auto-assign.

Environment

(Optional - If Applicable)

• JIRA v1000.253.3
• JMWE v4.0.3-Cloud

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new project
2. Edit the Create issue transition by adding a post-function to it
3. Select the Assign to Default Role Member post-function
4. Pick any project Role
5. Make sure the post-function appears in the list after the issue create action
6. Go into System > Project Roles
7. Add a user to the group as a default member
8. Make sure the user has Assignable User permissions in the project
9. Make sure the user is part of the specific role within the project
10. Create a new ticket

Expected Results

The ticket should automatically assign to the default member of the project role you specified in the post-function

Actual Results

The ticket is created but the assignee is left as unassigned

Notes

It should be noticed that the JMWE add-on will be removed in September. More information can be found here:
