## Linear Ticket: https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-6081/review-feedback ## Description Assignment V2 Service Enhancements - Enable Assignment V2 on plan upgrade - Fix UI issue with fair distribution policy display - Add advanced assignment feature flag and enhance Assignment V2 capabilities ## Type of change - [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) ## How Has This Been Tested? This has been tested using the UI. ## Checklist: - [ ] My code follows the style guidelines of this project - [ ] I have performed a self-review of my code - [ ] I have commented on my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas - [ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [ ] My changes generate no new warnings - [ ] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works - [ ] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes - [ ] Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules <!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY --> --- > [!NOTE] > **Medium Risk** > Changes auto-assignment execution paths, rate limiting defaults, and feature-flag gating (including premium plan behavior), which could affect which conversations get assigned and when. UI rewires inbox settings and policy flows, so regressions are possible around navigation/linking and feature visibility. > > **Overview** > **Adds a new premium `advanced_assignment` feature flag** and uses it to gate capacity/balanced assignment features in the UI (sidebar entry, settings routes, assignment-policy landing cards) and backend (Enterprise balanced selector + capacity filtering). `advanced_assignment` is marked premium, included in Business plan entitlements, and auto-synced in Enterprise accounts when `assignment_v2` is toggled. > > **Improves Assignment V2 policy UX** by adding an inbox-level “Conversation Assignment” section (behind `assignment_v2`) that can link/unlink an assignment policy, navigate to create/edit policy flows with `inboxId` query context, and show an inbox-link prompt after creating a policy. The policy form now defaults to enabled, disables the `balanced` option with a premium badge/message when unavailable, and inbox lists support click-to-navigate. > > **Tightens/adjusts auto-assignment behavior**: bulk assignment now requires `inbox.enable_auto_assignment?`, conversation ordering uses the attached `assignment_policy` priority, and rate limiting uses `assignment_policy` config with an infinite default limit while still tracking assignments. Tests and i18n strings are updated accordingly. > > <sup>Written by [Cursor Bugbot](https://cursor.com/dashboard?tab=bugbot) for commit 23bc03bf75ee4376071e4d7fc7cd564c601d33d7.
