The assignable person is not directly editable on the cards

Question

In some projects we could just change the assignee on a card by clicking on the small avatar that is shown in it. However in our new project the avatar does not show a list to change the assignee. Instead, the side-panel with the detailed view is shown, as if you click anywhere else in the card. How can we configure the first behavior in the cards?

It is assignable. Actually I can assign persons by clicking the Avatar on the Backlog view on the same board, but not on the Active Sprint view.

The new one is a company-managed project with a scrum board. Is it not possible to changed the assigned person by clicking on the avatar? I see that in the backlog view I can do that, but not in the active sprint board.

My guess is that your new project is of a different type to the old one.  I suspect the new one is a company-managed project, and the old a team-managed one.  These work very differently when editing.

It may also be a different type of board you are using.
