When we resolve an issue, we want the Assignee field to select the reporter by default, but allow the resolver to select another user. Currently the Assignee field defaults to the currently assigned user, usually the resolver. This is never the correct value for this field during a Resolve transition.

When we reopen an issue, we want the Assignee field to select the last assigned user. I note there is already a request for this functionality.

Our plan is to install a Post Function that assigns the issue to the Reporter, and remove the Assignee field from the resolve screen. This is less than ideal. We have no simple solution for re-opened issues.

What I'd really like is some kind of pre-function that can alter values to be displayed on the web form without yet touching the underlying database. Seems like this would allow for a wide variety of customizable transition behaviors and resolve a lot of bugs in this database.
