Description

It's already possible to fetch incoming emails and control the following attributes when creating a issue:
  • project=PROJECT identifier of the target project
  • tracker=TRACKER name of the target tracker
  • category=CATEGORY name of the target category
  • priority=PRIORITY name of the target priority

Is it possible to control the assigned_to field too? I'm already using Redmine to control a distributed development process (about a hundred users) and at this moment we need a way to register (as a Redmine issue) all the support e-mails we are receiving from external users. All these emails must be assigned to a specific Redmine user for helping our user support process.

I'm testing the trunk version (rev 2835) which already include the great job described in http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/revisions/2789.

Likewise, it would so much help setting up automated issue entry in some cases.

When I first suggest this, I wasn't aware how to use categories for this purpose. Now, I know it's possible to control the assigned_to field using categories. When a category is created it is possible to configure a redmine user for that. Thus, simply chosing a category for an issue when its is created will automatically fill the issue "assigned_to" field with category configured user.

I suggest that the CC: field could be used as a assigned_to: , and CC: just for watchers.

So a message with:

..
to: <redmine@example.com>, <user@example.com>
cc: <somebody@example.com>, <someone@example.com>
...

would be created a issue assigned_to: <> and <>, <> for watchers.

In this case using <> as the incoming e-mail, I just don't know how Redmine could make this distinction.

Another option would be to make allow-override accept the assigned_to: as an option, and the assigner users could be set on the e-mail body.
