I want to build a report which shows who is current assignee of the task and who was previous owner of the task.

I want to build a report which shows who is current assignee of the task and who was previous owner of the task. The reason for this report is we have a functionality to re-assign the tasks; but I want to display who had initially worked on the task by accepting it before it got re-assigned.
Please suggest.

    It doesn't look like Lizzie has updated that since 2012 - I haven't tried it on recent versions. But, based on what I remember, it actually cancels the task and creates a new one when you reassign it via the plugin; so you could include cancelled tasks in your report, perhaps.

    I do remember that since it essentially cancels and recreates the task, the "clock" on the task is restarted. So, be careful using it if the task needs to be completed within a certain timeframe.
