It would be nice if the description for the "target milestone url" (on the edit products page) field was more explicit. Or if the title linked to a more complete descption such as "URL to a page you create for explaining the target miletones". Or even as a default to the notargetmilestone.html page.
Hmm, what the heck _is_ the milestone URL?
Whiteboard: 2.14
Sorry for the brevity, it made sense to me at the time :) On the edit products page there is a field labeled "Milestone URL:". It is a url to a file that describes what the milestones are for each product. The url is used to create a link when viewing a bug, the words "Target Milestone", next to the pull down list, becomes a link that takes you to the page you specify in the "Milestone URL:". I found that the words "Milestone URL:" were insufficient to describe the above effects. I think that if the notargetmilestone.html file that is included with bugzilla where the default entry in this field whenever a componenet was created, it would be more intuitive and clearer. 1) It would then create the link on every bug so that you wouldn't have the erratic behavior of "Target Milestone" sometimes being a link and other times not. Currently if the "Milestone URL:" field is empty, no link is created. 2) This could also be resolved by a short paragraph that describes what in blue blazes the "Milestone URL:" on the edit products page does. Hope this helps clear this up. I think this would be an easy fix, depending on what method is implemented (both preferably). I might even patch this myself when i get time :)
"Milestones Description URL" ?
Whiteboard: 2.14 → 2.16
why so far into the future for such a minimal change?
because 2.12 is locked on new features in order to get it out, and 2.14 is going to be a security update designed to seal a lot of the holes in bugzilla currently, thus, only bugs which affect security are being considered for 2.14.
moving to real milestones...
Target Milestone: --- → Bugzilla 2.16
this could use a more descriptive summary. not wanting to step on toes and change a field that I don't own I'll leave it up to the assignee or QA contact. I suggest something like "describe Milestone URL in edit products page" or something like that.
