I would love to see this added. Preferably with the default assignment being '[Reporter]'.

Hi, here is a little workaround:
Replace: if ( $t_resolved > $f_new_status ) { ?>
with: if ( $t_resolved >= $f_new_status ) { ?>
in: ./bug_change_status_page.php Line: 96.

That should show the "Assign to"-list even if you change status to resolved.

Thanks Schroedi for the workaround, works well so far, although hard to maintain in future releases ie. in "mantis-1.0.0rc2" the line to change in ./bug_change_status_page.php is #136, if I understood well your fix.

Original ./bug_change_status_page.php lines 136ff

if ( ( $t_resolved > $f_new_status ) &&
access_has_bug_level( config_get( 'update_bug_assign_threshold', config_get( 'update_bug_threshold')), $f_bug_id) ) { ?>
<!-- Assigned To -->
(...)

Changed ./bug_change_status_page.php lines 136ff

if ( ( $t_resolved >= $f_new_status ) &&
access_has_bug_level( config_get( 'update_bug_assign_threshold', config_get( 'update_bug_threshold')), $f_bug_id) ) { ?>
<!-- Assigned To -->
(...)

In any case I would love to see this minor change in an ofical release.
Thanks again.

this feature is available in 1.2.0

wow, great to see this has been added.
Thank you for your efforts.
