Change the assigned task owner depending on the task status defined in a blueprint

If a blueprint is being applied to a task then it would be useful to be able to change the assigned task owners depending on the currently worked on workflow status. For example look at the process of a documentation task where the "document writer" is assigned to draft a text. When the drafting status is finished then the task is assigned to a "proofreader". In that case the task owner should be changed to the proofreader. Both of the "document writer" and the "proofreader" should be listed as the combined owners of the task but their actual job assignments should be changed depending on the state of the task defined in the blueprint.

I'm aware that this example task can also be designed as a main "documentation" task which is split into the subtasks of "drafting the text" and "proofreading the text" and then they can be bound to each other with a "Finish to start" binding but I'm sure that there are better use cases where this kind of task owner changes would benefit the users when applying blueprints to tasks.

Tip #33: Restricting time logs for past and future dates
Here's a tip on how to restrict users from entering log hours for the past or future dates in the Timesheet. Once timesheets are approved the invoice is generated for the month. If an employee makes changes to the past dates, the changes will reflect in the reports of the subsequent month. Reconciling this data with the previous month's invoice can be confusing and time-consuming. To avoid errors, the users are denied permission to add or edit past hours in the Timesheet by choosing the Don't Allow
