Description Willian Mitsuda CLA 2008-02-22 00:41:19 EST 
When moving some bug to another product, it is common to forget to change the assignee, because the "move to another product" story involves many other changes:

- Change the product.
- Change the component.
- Change the version.

It just happened on bug#218412 where it got moved to SWT, but Mik forgot to change the assignee to SWT inbox. I remember having got into this problem myself too at least 1 time.

Another side problem I see is that the assignee field auto-completion does not suggest the inbox accounts.

Patch

To get this work I must change radios in AbstractRepositoryTaskEditor from private to protected AbstractRepositoryTaskEditor.

Only the following is supported.
- Change the product.
- Change the component.

The version change is not included because I did not see that this results in an other assignee.

Frank, it looks like the patch went stale with editor refactoring for Mylyn 3.0. Please consider the necessary changes as part of bug 166595.

Bug# 166595 is now resolved I think that we can close this bug to.

Agreed. Although one of the original requests was to move the bug to the default component assignee, I don't think we should be automating that (since it may just as easily not be intended) and assigning to default is available as an action.  What is the consensus on this?
Comment 7 Frank Becker CLA 2009-03-25 15:42:38 EDT 
All done.
