I recommend that Trac implement batch modification functionality. This would allow users to modify several fields of several tickets that match a certain criteria in a single process. Bugzilla 2.17.7 currently implements such functionality in the following way (see http://landfill.bugzilla.org/bugzilla-tip/): * first, the user performs a query * on the resulting bug list page, there is a link at the bottom of the page: ""Change several bugs at once"" * on following that link, the same bug list reappears with a checkbox in front of each bug (this allows the user to hand pick a subset of the bugs to modify). This page also contains all the fields in a bug at the bottom of the page. Each of the fields contains a, ""--do_not_change--"" value by default. * the user selects the bugs to batch modify * the user modifies the fields needed to be changed in the fields at the bottom of the page * the user clicks ""commit"" Why would such functionality be useful? Here are some example scenarios: * There's a milestone titled ""Next Mainstream Loadbuild"". Thus, when a designer closes an issue in the main stream / trunk, they don't need to know the number of the next loadbuild, they simply use the ""Next Mainstream Loadbuild"". Then, upon the next successful loadbuild, the loadbuild guy can do a batch modification, changing all issues that are closed and have a milestone of ""Next Mainstream Loadbuild"" to the actual build number. VERY USEFUL. The designers don't need to be intimate with every single possible build number / milestone. * Another scenario: management has decided that all unresolved issues that were targeted to be addressed in load x are now to be targeted for load y. A batch modification would make this job a single task, as opposed to n tasks." enhancement closed normal 1.0 ticket system 0.7.1 major fixed review batch-modify pkou@… rjack@… mat@… david@… erikand@… garyo@… chad@… dgynn@… meeker.brian@… itamarost@… osimons ethan.jucovy@… leho@… Added TracBatchModify functionality
