I have been setting up email alerts for work items in TFS 2010 (power tools) and I'm surprised that there is no way to alert someone of a change in a work item if the ticket 'was ever' assigned to them.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but I would have thought that this would have been a common condition in alerting someone of a change to a work item.
Currently I get alerts if ticket is assigned to me or if it changes whilst it is still assigned to me, however if I assign the ticket to someone else, and they close the ticket, there is no condition I can set up to receive an alert (excluding receiving alerts on all tickets).
Any help to achieve this would be much appreciated.
