Overview

The Redmine Auto Assign Plugin improves workflow efficiency by ensuring issues are assigned when work begins.

• If the issue status is "New", it is changed to "In Progress"

• Updates issue status from New → In Progress
• Lightweight and non-intrusive
• No UI changes required
• Works with standard Redmine time tracking
