Cannot always transition a task into in Progress that has been assigned to a different user

Andy Watson

I am currently using an evaluation copy of jira with greenhopper plug in. I want to be able to move tasks assigned to a different user from To Do to in progress. But there are some tasks i cannot move. Sometimes i can move tasks assigned to different user's sometimes i can't. I can't see any obvious differences but this is critical to the way we work.

I am using the default workflow and haven't set up any conditions or validators for transitioning through a workflow

If you are able to transition an issue is determined by the condition of the workflow transition which you want to do with the issue.

For the default workflow this could be the Edit Issue permission for the Start Progress transition. If it's not the default workflow, you should look into the corresponding workflow, what conditions have to be met to do the transition.
