Task responsible person as a dropdown

[vlood]

Currently you can write anything as a responsible person - as long as it is not empty. It would be much better, if one could select from a list of users and "none" for tasks, that are currently unassigned.

That's a feature request too.

You are right about this request. I will take a look at this later on.

Hi, Andreas,

I got some progress in this task. Currently I got a dropdown instead of the text field, options of the dropdown being all the registered users (by their display_name) and user_login as values. They are still stored in _flowboard_meta record.

What I intend to do now is start treating the note author_id (the one which is in wp_posts table) as the responsible person for the task. This way it will be pretty easy to implement on a later moment permissions on editing notes, as we'll be able to use the standard WordPress permissions - if a user is Author, he'll be able to edit just his own notes, but if they are an Editor, they'll have full access to all notes.

Actually similar thing can be used for the boards too, so that specific Author users receive/get responsibility over a specific board (project or sprint, depending on the context).

What do you think of that? Do you have any better ideas or any concerns about such an implementation?
