Description

Steps:
1. Configure JIRA so that it's not possible to change assignee through Edit
Issue link (only through Reassign).
2. Use "Reassign" action in JIRA Client to change the assignee from A to B.
3. Upload changes.

Observed: assignee remains B for a short moment, then reverts to A. No changes
are registered on JIRA.

Expected: assignee should become B.

Evaluation:
We use JIRA's remote API call "editIssue" to change assignee, and it simply
ignores fields which are not on the "edit issue" screen. We'll have to have
assignee change uploaded through web interface via "Reassign" link, if not
possible to do it through remote API.

Another manifestation of the same problem: reassign would trigger a
notification e-mail, while editing an issue would not.

There may be other actions that are permitted for a user, that cannot edit a ticket. In our case, one can
 Attach file to this issue
 Attach screenshot to this issue
 Clone this issue
 Comment on this issue
 Create sub-task
 Link this issue to another issue

If one or several of these are done via editIssue, they will fail too
