Can the "assign to" list in different pages be different?

Hello moderator!
I wonder if I can customize the "assign to" lists in different pages.Now in one project,users in the "assign to" lists in different pages are same.Can I set different thresholds to some "assign to" lists?For example,I want all users who can handle issues can be shown in the "assign to" list in "View Issue Details" page and only manager can be shown in the one in "Acknowledge Issue" page.Can this requirement be realized?And which file should I modify? :)

Do you really want it that way?
E.g. it would allow developers to assign only managers when changing status to acknowledged.

Maybe this is what you really want?
Goto page "Workflow Transitions"
Change row "acknowledged" to "manager" in section "Access Levels, Minimum Access Level to Change to this Status"

No,this isn't my meaning.Maybe my description isn't clear.
Now there is a project,testproj2,in MantisBT.There are 7 users in it.Jackson,Michael,Robin and Rocky are reporters;Kevin is updater;Berkman is developer;Lucy is manager.
Administrator set reporter and updater to can handle an issue,too.

Now Jackson submit an issue to Berkman.Berkman find the issue need to be delayed to deal with.So he changes the status to acknowledged and assign it to Lucy.But the the "assign to" list in "Acknowledge Issue" page has all users who can handle an issue.

In fact,only manager has right to deal with the acknowledged issues.So I want to let only Lucy to be shown in the "assign to" list in "Acknowledge Issue" page.If I Change row "acknowledged" to "manager" in section "Access Levels, Minimum Access Level to Change to this Status" in "Workflow Transitions",Berkman will not to be able to assign it to Lucy.And he can't see the "acknowledged" status.
The same problem also exists in "Resolve Issue" page.All users who can handle the issue are shown in the "assign to" list.Can the default value of the list be [Reporter]?

There is no configuration option for it.
Be also aware that there is also the bug update page, where you can change the status and the assigned user in one step.

You would have to write a plugin which uses JavaScript to dynamically change the lists.
