Redmine assign_to_id set to string me but no assignee set.

[DhruvParanjape]

as described. no error either.

It should be assigned_to_id not assign_to_id, see docs.

[DhruvParanjape]

oops my bad it was assigned_to_id. when giving string 'me' as value it sets nothing to assignee but with assignee id it sets the correct assignee.

[DhruvParanjape]

Oh wait my bad it seems it doesnt set assignee to api key user for issue creation when assigned_to_id is set to string me

[maxtepkeev]

I've tried and it doesn't work for me either. I've consulted Redmine REST API docs and came to the conclusion that it shouldn't work, have a look at docs, here it says "assigned_to_id - ID of the user to assign the issue to (currently no mechanism to assign by name)" (nothing about me though).

Me does work when retrieving issues though, docs - "assigned_to_id: get issues which are assigned to the given user id. me can be used instead an ID to fetch all issues from the logged in user (via API key or HTTP auth)".

So, because python-redmine is just a client to a redmine, I can do nothing about it, you have to open a feature request at their forum for this.

Yup realized that thanks for the help.

Could you please help me, I try to delete assignee from an issue by following code, but assignee of issue is not deleted.
PUT /issues/10.xml
body content:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<issue>
<assigned_to_id></assigned_to_id>
</issue>
Please show me the way that I can delete assignee of issue by rest api?

Deleting the asignee is not working for me too:

self.currentIssue.assigned_to_id = None
self.currentIssue.save()

The asignee is unmodified.

[maxtepkeev]

@fmonera You should set it to an empty string, this way it works:

self.currentIssue.assigned_to_id = ''
self.currentIssue.save()

Since it's becoming a popular question I will make it possible to set this one to None and 0 as well and it will be convereted to '' automatically since that's what Redmine's JSON REST API is demanding for.
