Feature #6889
open
Set assignee on category change
Added by Peng Wang over 15 years ago.
Updated over 10 years ago.
Description
To reproduce:
1. File a new issue (leave the issue category empty)
2. update the issue and select an issue category
It is expected to see the assignee field to be changed automatically with the one specified in issue category. But it turns out that the assignee remains empty.
- Tracker changed from Defect to Feature
- Subject changed from Update issue category will not get assignee updated to Set assignee on category change
Actually, the current behaviour is to set the assignee automatically on issue creation only, as requested in #382. This is also described in the guide.
Thanks for the reply, and it would be nice if we can add the feature because the testers sometimes forgot to select the category and will try to update it later, but developers got no email notification.

- Has duplicate Defect #20429: Tracker with assignee field disabled, Is getting assigned with Assignee through Category added
#20429 says if assignee field is disabled, no change of assignee in issue updating is confusing.
