Assignees

Assign issues to one or more team members to indicate who is responsible for the work.

Assigning issues

From the detail panel

Set the assignee from the issue detail panel. Start typing a name to search workspace members.

Inline assignment

Assign issues directly from list and board views without opening the detail panel.

From Kiln AI

Ask Kiln to assign issues: "Assign all high-priority bugs to Sarah."

Multiple assignees

Collaborative work

Issues can have more than one assignee for collaborative work.

My Work visibility

All assignees see the issue in their My Work view, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Unassigned issues

Finding unassigned work

Use filters to find unassigned issues. On board views, unassigned issues appear without an avatar.

Triage workflow

During sprint planning, filter for unassigned issues and distribute them to team members.
