Preventing "Assigned To" field changes

Added by Pedro Nucci over 14 years ago

Hi,

first, thanks and congratulations for people who is developing this great software
(i've followed the protocol by searching for previously answered questions, but was unsuccessful)

is it possible to allow some user role to edit/update an issue, while preventing him on updating the Assigned To field?

if i grant the permission to Edit Issue, the user will be able to edit too much things. This option doesnt fit in my case.
As i've read in a previous forum message, by turning on the "Add Note" permission, users can change some properties like "% done" and "status" and "assigned to". The first two are perfect, but the last one is not.

Does it make sense a simple project member (e.g. programmer/developer) being able to assign an issue to another equally privileged user? wouldnt it be right only the project manager having permission to change assignments? if this is not your reality, could you help me to implement this?

thanks in advance
