Details

The buglist screen, or some version of it, should give the possibility to edit the data in-place. This was suggested indirectly by roc's comments on how they did their bug triage outside the system: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2007/10/triage.html So I'm imagining something like this: you get a buglist, but if you click on any (well, clearly not things like bug number or last changed date) field, it changes to an edit box. When you click Submit, all of the edits are made to the bugs in question, in a similar manner to a multiple bug change. To do this, we'd need to do something like: change process_bug.cgi to look for CGI field names prefixed by bug numbers (e.g. "345657-product=Bugzilla") and apply them instead of the "default". Then, we'd need to do a new template for the edit UI, which would probably involve some spiffy client-side JavaScript editing niceness. It may or may not be a modification to the existing buglist template. It would basically end up something like a giant spreadsheet. Gerv *
This'd be pretty easy with the YUI control that looks like a spreadsheet.
Severity: normal → enhancement
Depends on: bz-process_bug
I can see how this would be useful for triage and QA Review Boards. I'm just not entirely certain how to integrate it against our current edit-multiple. That is, ideally I'd want to replace as much as possible of edit-multiple with this UI, without being clumsy or difficult to use for the current use cases of edit-multiple. So this is P2 (we almost certainly want it) but requires a resolution of the edit-multiple question.
