Vertical drag and drop

[CodeInsider]

Hi there,

it would be great to drag and drop vertical. This way a user with enough rights could drag and drop an issue to another user or kategory (depending on the group by clause).

This would be really helpful to manage issues in a planning meeting!

Best regards

I second this feature request! The readme describes a quick-edit of assignee; however I haven't been able to find this?

@jgraichen I've been looking through the code a bit and would be willing to spend some time on it. As I'm no Ruby programmer, would you be willing to look in on the branch once done?

Also; what effect does the option "Change Assignee" under "Options" have in the taskboard view?

My current strategy is to special case the DaD for the "assigne_*" groups and resolve the lookup in the update.

I would be happy to help you start hacking with Ruby and Redmine/Redmine Dashboard, but I'm currently in my final exams and will not have any time until next mid-week.

Note that I'm working on a ground-up rewrite for version 3 (develop branch) as a lot of requested features are hard to impossible (with reasonable work) to implement on current version 2. I also want to finally implement the long planned "Planning Board" (similar to JIRA Classic Planning Board) that should be far more useful for organizing and planning meetings. Something like a larger board with all issues matching some filters (e.g. backlog or unassigned) and "buckets" for authors or versions showing stats instead of a full issue list. I would like to have the Taskboard focus on the work-oriented vertical flow. Nevertheless I will still help you if you want to add this feature to v2.

Back to the questions: The "change assignee" option automatically changes the issue assignee to yourself when you're dragging a card e.g. from open to in-process.

Thanks!

I've started a bit of work that solves 90% of my use case and allows the user to drag and drop issues to assign them to other users when viewing with a grouping of "assignees".

As said before; I don't have any experience in Ruby, and little in JS. So I consider it to be more of a hack than anything else. User rights management still needs to be implemented.

+1 This would be very handy exactly as stated:

it would be great to drag and drop vertical. This way a user with enough rights could drag and drop an issue to another user or category (depending on the group by clause).

I.e. quick change tasks between versions or sub-projects, change assignee - almost every current grouping possibilities would be usable in my work.
