We'd like to see the standard "Assigne" field changed to "Owner."

Our approach to organizing and assigning work through a work package isn't based on hierarchy, but rather on ownership.
The terms "assigned" and "assignee" are somewhat outdated and not suitable for new organizations.

We've added a custom field and removed "assignee," but as it's a required field, it's not practical.
We're going to translate it into the translation files, but that won't be practical when we update.

There is a feature 50303 on the wishlist, that would solve this issue. How would we get this upvoted?

Hi Michiel, Hi Edwin,

this is the work package Edwin referred to:

I assume this would not solve your initial feature request. Perhaps you meant to name a different work package? At the same time, I could not find a suitable feature request. Could you please open a new one for this? You will find a short guide on how to do so here:
