When I set up a sales cycle on an opportunity,the linked tasks are assigned to the salesperson set up on the Opportunity card.

It would help if you wanted to add a default user on the sales cycle stage that wins over the salesperson on the Opportunity card.

For companies it is a limitation because some tasks can be the responsibility of different people and not only of the salesperson connected to the opportunity. For example, sending a contract to be signed could always be the responsibility of the legal department.
