How to automatically assign task to yourself when dragging to In progress Azure DevOps Sprint Board

I am not sure but I thought this option was standard. When you pick up a task from the sprint board it will automatically assign yourself to this task because you pick it up. Is this option still there?

Found the answer here: How to automatically update the Assigned To on a User Story when state changes in Azure DevOps Board

It basically drills down to: Organization Setting -- Process, Select the process you want your change to, Then select "Task" in the list of work item types.

Then you can add rules for Task by clicking the Rules tab and add the following rule: screenshot of Rules in azure DevOps for boards/processes

It might have been a bug (feature?) that was corrected in the move to the new navigation. I was able to replicate this in current TFS2015, but not in AzDO 2019 Server or Services.

It used to be when you were on the board view for the sprint and grouped by backlog, you had the option to filter to a specific team member. When you were filtered to that team member then any board adjustment would translate into a re-assignment to the filtered team member. I remember it was annoying because I would sometimes accidentally swap the ownership when I was changing the status.

Since you can group by PBI but not filter by user anymore, it doesn't look like that behavior is maintained in the new navigation.
