Github project allow to assign only authenticated to same repository persons.

Othervise it will not be abble to sync to github, probable we need to disable this logic in case issue is not connected to repository.

Ok will let the user know, thanks!

So it seems you can assign a user when the issue is created, you just can’t re-assign after it was already created, is that expected?

It is just a bug I suppose.

Create/Assign should be same, we should be able to choose only persons from associated github.

The GitHub-integration rule that limited issue assignees to linked GitHub users, and blocked changing or unsetting the assignee, has been removed. Any person can now be assigned or re-assigned after the issue is created. This was done in #8179. This looks resolved, so the issue could be closed.

@haiodo — based on the check described above, this looks resolved in the current code. Could you please close this issue if you agree? If you think it is not fixed yet, please describe what still goes wrong (steps, expected vs. actual behaviour), so it can be looked at again.
