How it works

The Update Issue Assignee activity does three things:

  1. Replaces an existing assignee.
  2. Adds an assignee if the issue was unassigned.
  3. Removes an assignee.

The Assignee user ID look-up doesn't load any assignees unless you select an issue key. For details, see the User Assignable API.

If you want to update assignees of different issues, you can use a variable for the Issue field and keep the Assignee field intact.
