How to Change Default Reporter in Jira

‍

You can use Jira automation to automatically assign a default reporter whenever an issue is created. Here’s how to do it:

1. Navigate to your desired project.
2. Go to 'Project Settings' for the relevant project.
3. In the left-hand sidebar, click 'Automation'.
4. Click 'Create Rule'.
5. Select the trigger 'Issue Created'. This will fire the rule whenever a new issue is created in the project.
6. Add an action to set the reporter.
7. Select 'Edit Issue'.
8. In the 'Field to Set' section, choose 'Reporter' and select the user you want to be the default reporter.
9. Select a default reporter.
10. Name the rule and click 'Turn on rule'.
11. Now, whenever a new issue is created in the project, the automation rule will set the reporter to the user you configured as the default.
