Re-assigning accounts does not re-assign related contacts

[wyred]

Greetings,

I'm wondering if this is a normal behaviour, what are the reasons for it? And how can I modify this behaviourt?

My boss says that when he re-assigns an account to another user, the contacts in that account weren't re-assigned. And thinks that it should be re-assigned as well.

I'm using SugarOS 4.5.1h.

Thanks!

This is no feature of SugarCRM.
To set the assigned user of an account does not change the assigned user of any related object,
neither contacts, nor opportuntites, nor cases, nor ...

For opportunities e.g. you would not really want this, i think.

You're right... what do you think I can tell my boss to convince him that it's normal? Haha

Give him a simple example.
Lets have a company MullerMilk with 2 contacts, Mr. Muller and Mr. Milk
Mr. Muller is an old schoolfriend of your boss and Mr. Milk is the main worker in this company.
Now your boss wants you to make a lot of business with MullerMilk and assigns you the account MullerMilk.
Does he really want to assign the contact Mr. Muller to you?
I do not think so.
