Loading ...It is possible to have many events in TestTrack which result in a new assignment. Assign is just one example but it is possible your Estimate or Fix or other custom event actions also result in new assignments. When you look at the Assign To event field you are looking at the most recent assignment made by that event, but it might not be the most recent assignment for the issue. If your Fix event allows new assignments then a defect with Workflow such as this:
Then the Fix Assign To would show the most recent assignment. As this can become a bit confusing and also tedious to setup filters, sorts and searches based on so many events that can have assignments the ‘Currently Assigned To’ field is a special feature that was added to always show who the most recent assignment was made to regardless of the event that made the assignment. In this example I laid out with the Assign and Fix events the Currently Assigned To would display the Fix Assign To value as that is the most recent assignment made in the workflow.This is an important distinction because within a workflow there is often a good reason to report on individual event assignments. Assign To and Fix Assign To will provide unique data to show which users where working on which items at these specific points in the workflow. What all this means is that when working with the defect list window, when you want to see who an item is assigned to right now, you use the Currently Assigned To. When you want to run reports and see who worked on what at specific points in your workflow you use the event values such as Assign To and Fix Assign To in order to see those individual values.
