Allow Auto-Assigning of User Only to Unassigned Subactions

When assigning a user to an action card, Hive prompts to ask if you want to assign the user to all subactions as well. However, this will reassign any previously assigned subactions (such as those set up in templates) to be reassigned as well.
Would be useful if, when you assign a user to an action card that already has subactions applied to it, if you could also assign that same user (at the same time) to any subactions that are still unassigned, without reassigning any subactions that already have assignees.

Add option to assign user only to un-assigned subactions

Currently when you assign a user to an action, you are given the option to also assign them all existing subactions. However, choosing this option will assign ALL subactions to that user, and will remove any previously assigned users from those subactions and replace them with the one new user. It would be nice when assigning a new user to an action that already has subactions set up with pre-assigned users (via a template), to give the option to only assign that user to currently unassigned subactions.
We have subaction templates set up for multiple types of “projects” (aka action cards). The templates are applied to action cards based on the exact type of work that needs to be done, and most of the time they are applied before a main user is assigned, so that certain pre-assigned users can get started on them sooner. Currently I need to assign a user to the action card, and then individually assign them to all unassigned subactions as well, so that I don’t lose the pre-assigned users.
Would also be useful when unassigning an action, to be given the option to remove only that user from any subactions - if the subactions are assigned to various users (and not all subactions are assigned to the same users), they would not be completely unassigned - only the one user I am actively removing from being assigned to the action card would be removed from any subactions they are assigned to.
