It's also worth knowing that RT logs at the notice level when this
happens, so your logs should have pointed you in the right direction.

For performance reasons, RT 4.2 switches to an autocomplete box once the
number of possible owners grows beyond 50.  If it did so suddenly, it's
a fair bet that someone handed out OwnTicket too broadly, and the
autocompleter is saving you from a drop-down that would otherwise
contain, say, all users in your system.

[rt-users] Drop-down menu for Owner field disappeared

2014-03-04 Thread Tim Wilson
RT suddenly stopped showing a drop-down menu for the Owner field today.
It's just a regular text box now. You can still type in it, and the
autocomplete works, but the drop-down is gone. We're running 4.2.0. There's
no difference in behavior in different browsers. Any suggestions?
