Default "Assigned to" : Me when creating subtasks

[fernandog]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me how to default "Assigned to:" field to "Me" (logged user) when creating a subtask?

This dropdown box is in applications/ views/task/task_list.php

Code: [Select]

<?php echo assign_to_select_box("task[assigned_to]", $task_list->getProject(), null, array('id' => 'addTaskAssignTo' . $task_list->getId())) ?>
This little change will save me much trouble, as my team often accidentally assigns subtask to other people!!
 
Thank you!

Third parameter is $selected, null in your example

Code: [Select]

* @param integer $selected ID of selected user

Hi Cabeza,

You are saying i should use "$selected" instead of "null"?

I tried this but unfortunately it did not work. Dropdown list still defaults to "Anyone".

The option "Me" is not even in this dropdown list, the way it is on the dropdown used in "edit task".

Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help

This code

Code: [Select]

<?php
 echo assign_to_select_box("task[assigned_to]", $task_list->getProject(), 1, array('id' => 'addTaskAssignTo' . $task_list->getId())) 
?>
 
should assign it to user with id=1 by default.

Is it not working?

Nope, it still defaults to "anyone".

Remember this is on "task_list.php" which is not the same dropdown menu as in the "edit task" view ("add_task.php).

That parameter is being ignored in application/helpers/application.php , lines starting at  428.

To solve it check ExtJS class Ext.form.ComboBox and how to set the selected value (Ext API is friendly).

Hi again Cabeza,

I was never able to figure this one out. Think you can give me a bit more help?

Thanks!
