This just popped into our Cloud board view this morning.
Old: Assignee dropdown
New: Assignee avatars with "+4" etc. to access additional people
I like the focus on visualizing your team, but our users often have a couple of problems:
1) Some people don't upload avatars or have fun avatars like a cat or a Lego
2) We have highly distributed teams where team members may have never met in person and have only seen people via video call
3) It's only showing 6 people before going to a dropdown, which is smaller than many teams.
Would be nice to toggle the feature or configure the number of avatars shown. #3 actually reminds me (in a bad way) of the old Jira status "some buttons, some in a dropdown" UI which I'm glad is gone.
