Workflow: only Issue Reporter can close

Added by Leonard Brünings about 16 years ago

Hello,

we recently migrated from Trac to Redmine.
One requirement of our company is that only the reporter of an issue can close it.

The workflow would be that the assignee would mark the issue as resolved, then Redmine
would automatically assign the issue back to the reporter who can then decide to close
or to reassign the issue.

From what I've seen so far this is not possible with the standard workflow or am I wrong?

How complicated would it be to integrate this behaivior with a plugin?

Thanks for your help,

Leonard

Hi,

If you're a rub and rails dev, it would be rather easy (but long), but not as a plugin: you have to directly hack redmine to add a new role in the workflow, then a new helper to check if current_user is the reporter of the issue, then alter the access chain to let or not closing a issue based on that helper.

If you're not familiar with ruby nor rails, just forget and submit a FR, go to a church or whatever and pray :)
