Defect #9551
closed
Changing assignee should be notify the previous assignee
0%
Description
When user change assignee to a new developer, the old assignee should be notify by mail (making this for example adding the old assignee as watcher).
I intend this as a defect and not feature, because if the old assignee is working to bug resolution and a new one change assignee, 2 different person can work to same problem.

Depending on the email settings of both Redmine in general and the involved Redmine users specifically, email notifications are already sent to the involved users whenever the Assignee attribute value of the issue changes.

Misha you are wrong.
I want that when I'm assignee of the bug and someone change assignee (in one of my project where I'm not watcher), Redmine notify me by mail. This now can't happens when I have set my notification as "Only for things I watch or I'm involveed in".
=> Reopen

Indeed. Say we have 2 users A and B who want notifications for assigned issue.
When the assignee of an issue is changed from A to B, only B gets notified. A should be notified of the change.

That is also what I found out while I was testing it with the additional info provided in note-2, but still had to post my "results" to this issue... :-/

What I saw was that this is not tied to the users mail notification setting. This e.g. also happens when the settings value is "Only for things that I am assigned to".

Please update your Redmine instance to the latest version or at least to 3.4.3 where the issue was fixed (#26627).
