Improve reading a To-Do item of an issue assigned to yourself
This is actually an improvement suggestion to an existing feature. I used the Feature proposal template because it's the closest I found to a change suggestion.
Problem to solve
As a GitLab user, I want to improve the reading of a To-Do item that reflect assigning an issue to my self, so it can be easy to read.
Intended users
All GitLab users that use the To-Do List feature.
User experience goal
The user should be able to quickly and easily read a To-Do list item to know that is means an issue that he/she assigned it to himself/herself instead of reading the whole To-Do item and identifying this information at the end of the sentence.
Proposal
Currently, a To-Do list item where a user assigns an issue to himself/herself reads as follows:
You assigned merge request !00000 "WIP: Resolve "Implement this great feature"" at My Group / My Subgroup / My Project to yourself · 11 minutes ago
My suggestion is to change the sentence to read as follows:
You assigned yourself merge request !00000 "WIP: Resolve "Implement this great feature"" at My Group / My Subgroup / My Project · 11 minutes ago
Notice the latter sentence allows the user to quickly know that this To-Do item is about an issue that he/she assigned to herself/himself.
This will also make the reading consistence with the current reading of a To-Do item where someone else assigned the issue to the user:
Colleague assigned you issue #00000 "Implement this great feature" at My Group / My Subgroup / My Project · 44 minutes ago
Further details
This will make the reading of To-Do items a much better experience. As well as making To-Do items read more consistently together.
