Clearing the assignment might not be desirable, in case the issue was reopened later.

If you wanted to pluginize this, this code should work (using my head as the Ruby interpreter)

# Create a directory in vendor/plugins and save this code to a init.rb in there
module UnassignIssuesWhenClosed
  def self.included(base)
    base.send(:include, InstanceMethods)
    base.class_eval do
      before_save :unassign_if_closed
    end
  end

  module InstanceMethods
    def unassign_if_closed
      self.assigned_to = nil if IssueStatus.find(status_id).is_closed
    end
  end
end
Issue.send(:include, UnassignIssuesWhenClosed)

-1

PLEASE dont do this. We assign every closed issue to the developer who should be credited and then compute daily, monthly and annual throughput - and pay bonuses and in some cases hourly rate (for outsourced work) based on those numbers. Clearing that field would be a huge blow.

PS I dont think having closed issues assigned clutters any of the views or the statistics? Certainly never run across any issues in that regard - most views are filtered to open views anyway?

Sounds like a configurable plugin might be the best solution :)

TY Eric for the plugin-pointer.

-1 also from me, I don't think the majority of users would need this

I agree. A plugin solution would be best for this if such is required.
