Ability to add a default assignee in next-gen project

Update on 18th May 2020

 Hi Everyone, 

We would like to inform you that our developers are currently working on enabling Project Lead and Default Assignee for next-gen projects on JSW/JSD. While we cannot provide you with exact timelines at this point, we expect this work to be completed soon. 

We understand how this issue limits the usability of next-gen projects, and we are working to make this feature available to customers ASAP. Kindly expect another update in this regard from us next week. 

Thank you,
Arjoon Som
Sr. Product Manager
