<ul></ul><p>I have 60 thousand users. I can not have a simple dropdown of all potential users .</p>
<p>Maybe instead a manager should have a button on a thread ''Make this message thread into a trackable issue'', and preserve the creator (original message), while yourself have it as second message (the update, and expanding on why created from forum into issue).</p>
<p>I think this website, redmine.org itself, has also a lot of users and loading all of them to a dropdown is wasteful.</p>
<p>Kind regards</p>

<ul></ul><p>Converting a message to an issue would be really nice, and I'd use it a lot. It doesn't 100% solve the problem though as I still get some email bug reports.</p>
<p>Alternatively, maybe a text box for the user name to add? It would be nice too to allow email addresses, but obviously that would be a lot more work. (This would let email issues to be entered into the database and the person replied to directly, without having to create an account for them.)</p> Redmine - Feature #3448: Add issue watcher that isn't a maintainerhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/3448?journal_id=96282009-06-07T18:57:54ZEric Davis

<p>+1, I've seen reports of a large select fields (10,000s items) crash browsers.</p>
<p>Here's another suggestion which I've talked about with other people. Add the ability to open an issue "As someone". Example:</p>
<p>Eric Davis (Manager) opens a new issue as W Snyder (non-member). Now since W Synder is the "author", issue updates will be sent to that user's email address.</p> Redmine - Feature #3448: Add issue watcher that isn't a maintainerhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/3448?journal_id=96372009-06-08T02:21:44ZW Snyder
<ul></ul><p>+1: Add the ability to open an issue "As someone".</p>
<p>I would like that too, but note it needs the same select-from-large-list solution.</p> Redmine - Feature #3448: Add issue watcher that isn't a maintainerhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/3448?journal_id=96822009-06-10T09:31:45ZAmmler _
<ul></ul><p>Why not a "simple" textfield, where you can add the user to the watchlist?</p> Redmine - Feature #3448: Add issue watcher that isn't a maintainerhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/3448?journal_id=393122012-06-26T22:01:47ZJean-Philippe Langjp_lang@yahoo.fr
