“Assigned to:” field behavior inconsistent and reduces productivity Merged

When I create a Goals, Initiatives or Features, the “Assigned to:” field is blank. When I cursor over the field a button appears “Assign to me”. This button appears when ever there is no assignment.

This gives me the ability to brainstorm on goals, initiatives and features, and not think about who or if I should be responsible yet. I can come back later and assign the item to myself very quickly with the “Assign to me” button.

In comparison, when I create a to-do under a feature. There is a blank “Assigned to:” field with a “Assign to me” link next to it.

Again, I want to brainstorm and think of the to-do list without regard to people assignments, and I type in Titles and then Enter to get to the next blank to-do item. I can quickly create 10 to-dos this way.

When I look back at my to-do list, I notice all the to-dos are assigned to me. WHY? I left it back and did not click on the “Assign to me” link. This happens even if the parent feature is not assigned to me?

Now to remove the assignment, I need to click on the to-do and then click on the “x” next to my name to remove the assignment. This is a waste of my time.

Furthermore, when I am ready to assign an unassigned to-do to myself, there is no “assign to me” link. There is only an “Add assignee” link. Now I need to click on it, type my partial name and select. Why is there no “Assign to me” link? WHY? This is an additional waste of time.

Please change the behavior of To-Dos so it acts consistent to Goals, Initiatives or Features which is very quick and make intuitive sense.
