When topic is closed, we mark assignments as "inactive". Then when it is reopen and setting reassign_on_open is enabled, we bring back previous assignments.
We were already using custom fields for archive message and move to inbox. I changed custom fields solution to use active flag on Assignment model
Ability to assign groups.
To assign group, user must have a right to send a message to that group.
In addition, 2 jobs were introduced, - AssignNotification and UnassignNotification to inform interested users in the background about the new assignment.
- Makes a best attempt at being random and assigning people who haven’t been assigned for a long time
- Uses timezones and holidays
- Allows to define a minimum delay between assignments
- Creates a post if no one is available
I had a bit of trouble finding how to enable this feature for a user so I could assign topics to the user. This is the setting, so I updated it to explain that it allows assigning to users as well as allows the user to assign topics to others.
Currently if you try to assign a PM to a user who can't see it, you get an error message that says "@{user} can't be assigned since they don't belong to assigned allowed groups". This commit improves the message and now it tells you the user doesn't have access to the PM and that you need to invite the user before you can assign them.

Previously we would rely on a quirk in core where whisper small actions
would get a notification, this behavior was removed and now we must
be explicit, it provides a much more consistent assign notification
