TODO not created when assigned after initial merge request creation

Summary

TODO is not created when assigned after initial merge request creation. As a result, user has merge requests assigned to them, but no notification or email is generated to prompt the user to address the merge requests.

Steps to reproduce

  • create a merge request without making an assignment
  • edit merge request
  • create assignment by changing the selectpicker drop-down in the main body of the merge request column (not** via the sidebar)
  • save changes

What is the current bug behavior?

No TODO is created for this task. The current workaround for this is the user is expected to use the sidebar to edit assignee after the fact. This amounts to 2 different ways to accomplish the same function, but each only works fully under certain conditions.

What is the expected correct behavior?

A TODO should be created for the assignee, regardless of whether it occurs upon merge request creation or edit, and regardless of whether the dropdown or sidebar is used to make the change to the assignee. (Possibly related to that: If a user is UNassigned a task, the TODO related to this merge request should be automatically removed.)
