Re-assign tickets

I’ve noticed that I can “steal” a ticket using the “Actions”->“Steal”
dropdown on the ticket display, however I can’t steal if by changing the
“Owner” dropdown on the Basics page. When I attempt to, I get a message
“You can only take tickets that are unowned”. Is this intentional, or an
oversight?

Also, is there some privilege that would allow me to re-assign a ticket
from one person to another? As a work-around, I can steal it and assign
it, but I’d like to do it in one step.

I dealt with this in one install by commenting out (in 4.0.6) lines
2924 through 2935. I do notice that there’s something about “Force” in
that if statement, but it seems force is an internal thing to allow
automated processes to override the check.

Oh, it looks like I can do it programmatically using
$ticket->SetOwner(‘other_guy’, ‘Force’). Now I just have to figure out how
to expose that on the UI. And it looks like that’s the reason you can’t
Steal from the Basic screen - because they want to enforce the difference
between Take and Steal using that argument.
