One of the useful features of components is the ability to assign a default assignee to each component. This means that when a user creates an issue with a component and sets the assignee as Automatic, Jira will be able to automatically assign the issue based on the component selected. This is a very powerful feature for organizations where members of various teams often do not know each other. Therefore, when it comes to assigning issues at creation time, they often find it difficult to decide who to assign them to. This feature can be set up so that the lead of the component becomes the default assignee and the issues raised can then be delegated to other members of the team.
