Adding a Reviewer column/field to a bug

In addition to assigning an issue to a handler, I'd like to assign a reviewer to an issue also. The reviewer will have the authority to close the issue once the hanlder has declared the issue is resolved and the reviewer agrees with this.

It looks like I need to add a reviewer_id column to the manits_bug_table and then go through all the code and wherever handler_id is referenced, see if it is appropriate to also add code for reviewer_id.

Or is there a better way to accomplish this?

Maybe when the handler changes the status to resolved, the bug is reassigned to another person who closes the bug after a review, no?

I had to do something similar to that, but people keep forgetting to reassign issues. I was wondering if there is a way to make assigned to a required field when changing status.

Someone asked me if it was possible to change the status value if a custom field takes a specific value. Do you want something like this?

I thought your suggestion was to have the handler reassign the issue when they set the status to resolved. I'm sorry if i misunderstood you. My question was if there is a way to force that; to make the handler set the assign to field when they change the status to resolved.

A direct way, no I don't think.
