Treat default assignees as assigned users to satisfy required field validation

What is the challenge?

• A workspace-level default assignee is displayed on newly created records but is not treated as a populated Assigned to value during a workflow transition where assignment is required.

What is the impact?

• Users must manually select an assignee before progressing, creating unnecessary friction and preventing the default-assignee setting from satisfying the workflow requirement.

Describe your idea.

• Treat a workspace-level default assignee as a valid Assigned to value for required-field validation during workflow transitions.
