RELATED IDEAS

Add an option to default the Feature Assignee to the creator

Why is it useful

We do reporting by feature assignee, as we have many product owners working on a single product in Aha.
Currently, since assignee is not on the create feature screen, often our PMs do not remember to go back and edit the feature, and add the assignee.

Who would benefit

All of product would benefit, as it would be very clear who was working on each feature.  In particular, when we have to follow up with a product owner (e.g. because the feature isn't estimated, they didn't assign it to an initiative, etc), it would be clear who to follow up with.

How would it work

This is related to https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/APP-I-1246.
If we could get it on the create feature screen, that would be great, and if we could default it to the creator on that screen, that would be ideal.

    This is now possible with two solutions in Aha!

    • Option 1 - Create an automation rule that sets the 'assigned user' to the same as the 'created by user'. Learn more about automation rules here.


    • Option 2 - You are now able to add the assignee field to the creation form and make it required

    Agreed - when multiple PMs are in the same workspace, there is no reasonable default assignee for that workspace. And it's rare that I would create a master feature or feature for something that another PM needs to work on. We all create our own artifacts.

    It's the expected behavior as we see it

    Agree, this should not have to be an additional manual step.

    Current behavior feels like a bug. Need it.

Auto Assign Feature to Creator by Default Option

Merged
Very very simple, with a tool that's used by multiple people and team members that have to create their own features, it would be nice if there's an option to Auto Assign Feature to Creator by Default Option automagically.

set default assignee to creator

Merged
It would be ver useful if we can set the Default Assignee to the Creator of the Feature - rather than the "unassigned" default. Basically if someone adds a feature they are responsible for it until they pass it to someone else and I don't want Una...
