Hi Sharan, I think it depends...
If it is visible that the current assignee is actively working on the topic (active discussions etc.) I would at least ask him if it is ok to take over the issue.
If it is visible that the issue is not actively worked on and someone else has the time to take over, I think it is ok to take over. It's always possible to discuss and re-assign later.
I think we are working together and for me this includes helping out when possible. And sometimes you assign yourself to an issue and it get's abandonded after a while... why not pick it up then.
Curious what others think. Regards, Michael Am 22.06.15 um 10:10 schrieb Sharan-F:
Hi Everyone Another topic that came up on the Community Day was whether a developer could pick up a Jira issue already assigned to someone else. At the moment I don't think we have any indication to show whether the original assignee wants to keep the issue (e.g. they are already part way through developing a solution) or whether they don't mind if someone else picks it up to complete. Does anyone have any feedback or ideas about how we could handle this? Thanks Sharan
