Redmine

Redmine OOO (Out of Office) automatically delegates issues when their assigned user is unavailable.

Each user can configure a substitute and specify an Out of Office period directly from their Redmine account. When an issue is created or assigned to an unavailable user during that period, the plugin automatically reassigns it to the selected substitute.

Key features:

• User-configurable substitute and absence period
• Automatic reassignment of newly created and updated issues
• Journal notes explaining every automatic delegation
• Configurable system account for automated journal entries
• Support for chained substitutions
• Protection against delegation loops and repeated “ping-pong” reassignment
• Administrative exclusion of system or service accounts from the substitute list
• English and Czech localization

Only one active Out of Office configuration is stored per user, keeping absence management simple and avoiding overlapping periods.

The plugin is open source and distributed under the MIT License.

Contributions are welcome!

Please, make sure to backup your Redmine install before installing the plugin.
This should be standard practice; consider this a gentle reminder.

Tested with Redmine 7.0.0. Other compatible Redmine versions should work as well.
