Two scenarios:
- A recurring task where the topic serves as a checklist for what to do, and
- A long term project requiring multiple assignments over time
Examples from my personal forums:
- A checklist for cleaning the bathroom, assigned to random family member, and
- My kid and I taking turns importing and sorting our admittedly too large collection of Nintendo Switch media

In either case, that automation supports those kinds of use cases. Random assign on topic creation? ![]()
If it can’t be done currently, that would be a neat Contribute > Feature topic. ![]()
