Hi all,

Thanks for your continued interest in this feature.  It's still at the top of my team's stack of requested features and we're hoping to get to it within the next few releases.  Once it's committed to a release, I'll post an update.

This feature is definitely needed, especially for admins on the road. Missing a simple feature like this compromises user adoption.

@David Louie-  Any update.  Sure seems like a great request for a mobile environment

Dear David
We do need this feature and this has been 11 months on top of your priorities.
When do you think we would be able to use this feature on salesforce1 ?
best regards
miguel

Must Have!

Definitely a necessary feature.

Here's a solution that you can use until SF adds this capability to S1.  Just attach the following Visualforce page to an Action button so that you can assign records to any one of your active users.  Hope it helps.

VFpage showing a picklist of active users:

<apex:page standardController="YOUR_OBJECT_NAME__c" extensions="changeRecordOwner">
<apex:form >
  <center>
  <apex:pageMessages />
  <label>Assign To:&nbsp;</label>
      <apex:selectList value="{!YOUR_OBJECT_NAME__c.OwnerId}" size="1">
          <apex:selectOptions value="{!UserList}"></apex:selectOptions>
      </apex:selectList>
  &nbsp;<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>
  </center>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Extension:

public with sharing class changeRecordOwner
{
    public List<User> UserTemp = new List<User>();
    public YOUR_OBJECT_NAME__c obj {get;set;}
   
    public changeRecordOwner(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
        this.obj = (YOUR_OBJECT_NAME__c)stdController.getRecord();
    }
   
    public List<SelectOption> UserList {
        get {
            UserTemp = [SELECT Id, Alias FROM User WHERE IsActive = true AND UserType = 'Standard' ORDER BY Alias];
            UserList = new List<SelectOption>();
            for(User temp : UserTemp)
            {
                UserList.add(new SelectOption(temp.Id, temp.Alias));
            }
            return UserList;
        }
        set;
    }
}

Test Class:

@isTest
public class changRecordOwner_Test {
   
    static testmethod void unitTest(){
        YOUR_OBJECT_NAME__c obj = new YOUR_OBJECT_NAME__c();
        insert obj;
        changeRecordOwner changeRecordOwner = new changeRecordOwner(new ApexPages.StandardController(obj));
        List<SelectOption> lstOptions =  changeRecordOwner.UserList;
    }
}

 

I used to be able to change the case owner from the full-site view on my mobile device, but now that does not work and I'm stuck in a vicious cycle of mobile view, full-site view, then forced back to mobile view. PLEASE ENABLE CASE OWNER CHANGE IN MOBILE VIEW or give back REAL full-site access so I can change case owners!

Forget all the marketing hype about Saleforce1.
just get the absolute basic things working, like Lead Assignment!

Thanks David. 

This would be a great feature to have in the App for ALL objects available to users. 

Any update on when to expect this?

Has anyone developed an alternative chatter action?

This would be huge for team lead sharing while in the field. Thank you
