Publisher Action to Change Owner

The standard publisher actions don't allow us to change the owner of a record. Does anyone have code to do that?

You can vote for it so it can be considered in future releases.

Thanks,

Hi Cheryl,

If the solution needs to be dynamic and set the owner of one a variety of different owners, code would be the way to go. However, you could also create a publisher action that triggers a workflow rule and corresponding field update that update the owner field, as well. The major limitation here is that you have to set the Owner to one specific person, so a workflow rule / field update would have to be created for each different scenario. If that is not an issue, then you could take that route.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Phil

Thanks everyone for the great responses.  Hopefully the ideas above that I voted for get some consideration.  Change Owner is standard functionality.  There is hope that it will become a standard action in the future.  I have found a work around but it is not ideal.
