Full-scale feature implementation:¶

In "workflows/edit" view when editing statuses transitions for particular role there is a table "from status\to status".
In the cells there are only one check box now.
The cell contents would be expanded to form (or there could be a link to edit transition):

|-----------------------------------------------|
| [] status transition enabled (checkbox)       |
|    [] only if assigned (checkbox)             |
|-----------------------------------------------|
| [] must assign (checkbox)                     |
|-----------------------------------------------|
| Can assign to(roles list): []Role1(self)      |
| check_all_roles_button     []Role2            |
|                            []Role3            |
|                            ...                |
|                                               |
|-----------------------------------------------|

So the rules when trying to change status will be:

• role can perform a transition only if "status transition enabled" checked (already implemented)
• if "only if assigned" checked: user can not perform a transition if he isn't assigned to an issue (but having proper role)
• if "must assign" checked: role can not perform a transition if proper user from the list was not assigned (see next rule)
• assignable users are users with roles from the list "can assign to"

A "self transition" when actually there is no status transition should be like this:

|-----------------------------------------------|
| [] only if assigned (checkbox)                |
|-----------------------------------------------|
| Can assign to(roles list): []Role1(self)      |
| check_all_roles_button     []Role2            |
|                            []Role3            |
|                            ...                |
|                                               |
|-----------------------------------------------|

So the rules when trying to change "assidned to" and not changing status are:

• if "only if assigned" checked: user can not change "assigned to" if he isn't assigned to an issue
• role can assign users with roles from the list "can assign to"

In my company we often need for such functionality. We have more than 200 people. Of course, each role is more than one employee.

P.S. Sorry for my English. :)
