#4210 closed enhancement (duplicate)

Request for tweak to show user's name instead of account in "assign"/"assigned" pulldowns.

Description

Unfortunately I'm stuck with an unrecognizable enterprise standard for the account name. We have enough users where we can't keep cross referencing manually. Having the person's name in place of the account would be PERFECT! I don't mind a hack in the short-term.

I'm relatively new to trac, but already a vivid user. Unfortunately I know little about configuring it, which is why I'm asking myself if the assign/reassign function can be changed from text entry field to pull-down via configuration. The text entry field here bugs me too, if that’s what this ticket is about. You can easily mistype the user name of the person you'd like to assign the ticket to and then it's not lossed, but kind of out of focus.

I too would be prefer a pulldown menu offering all users involved in the project.

No, I don't think the ticket is related to your "issue".
This ticket is about displaying a real user name rather than a sometimes cryptic login name, e.g. "Joe User" instead of "ju1234".

Exactly. I'm able to select the assignee by id in the pulldown. Eblot described my issue better than I did! :)

Resolution: duplicate
Status: newclosed

seems to be a duplicate of #3737. instead of tweaking the gui, the simpler solution should be to separate "login-uid" and "trac-uid" or "nick".
