Context-sensitive new ticket prefill

[s.lipnevich@…]

I'd like to extend the idea behind a worksforme-ed #3253 as follows: it'd be nice to enter a ticket quickly based on the conditions I'm looking at right now.

Example: I create a query for owner X and milestone Y using TracQuery. I review the results and decide to add to the workload of X and create one more task. It'd be great to simply be able to click on a link that says Create new ticket in this view (not a good wording) or something like that.

Similarly, and that's what #3253 was proposing, it'd be nice to create a ticket right from the milestone's page that is assigned to this milestone. Or create a ticket assigned to this milestone and a particular component by clicking one of the [now imaginary] knobs next to one of the sort by component progress bars on the right of the milestone's view. Or by clicking somewhere in the query that results from clicking on this progress bar… You get the idea.

Moreover, I actually would prefer the standard New Ticket action to be context-sensitive as I describe above and always prefill ticket fields for me based on what is in the current page's view.

To extend this beyond milestones and queries, when I'm looking at a Wiki page or a commit log or a source code item, and I click New Ticket, I'd be glad to see that there's a TracLink-ified reference to that object. Maybe that's one of the ideas TracObjectModelProposal is trying to accommodate, but it would need help from Trac on how to deduce some relations between Trac objects, in this case to help fill out a ticket more quickly.

Duplicate of #3255, Trac produced an error so I reposted…

Do you remember what was that error?

Apparently, the creation of the ticket succeeded, but the notification failed, so it must have been a problem in between.
