How to assign Work Items to "Unassigned"?

I am programmatically copying data and need to remove the "Assigned To" person and set it to "Unassigned".

In my results, whenever there is an assigned individual, it keeps it that way and ignores my re-assignment:

childWorkItem.State = "New";
childWorkItem.Fields["System.AssignedTo"].Value = null;
childWorkItem.Save();

I also tried:

childWorkItem.State = "New";
childWorkItem.Fields["System.AssignedTo"].Value = "Unassigned";
childWorkItem.Save();

But "Unassigned" is an invalid value.

I found the answer, instead of using System.AssignedTo I uased the user-friendly name of "Assigned To" and changed the middle line to:

childWorkItem.Fields["Assigned To"].Value = null;

Happy trailing
