Description

I'm trying to use the enterprise workflow and I stumbled upon some obstacles.

For example: A new ticket is created and assigned to a user. The user finds he needs more information so he presses request info. The ticket gets state infoneeded_new and the only actions available is provide_info and leave.

Suggestion:

  1. Make it possible to assign a user when requesting more information. If in the infoneeded_new state I would like it to be automatically assigned to the reporter
  2. It should alse be able to reassign a ticket in infoneeded_new state.
  1. Can be fixed by adding the following to the workflow:
    reassign_infoneeded_new = infoneeded_new -> infoneeded_new
    reassign_infoneeded_new.name = reassign
    reassign_infoneeded_new.operations = set_owner
    reassign_infoneeded_new.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY
    
  1. Looked easy but I found something unwanted in default_workflow.py. Apparently set_owner adds a "to" between the name and the assignee.

If I modify requestinfo_new to:

requestinfo_new = new -> infoneeded_new
requestinfo_new.name = request info from
requestinfo_new.operations = set_owner
requestinfo_new.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY

Then the output will be: request info from to

Isn't it better to remove the "to" from default_workflow.py and let the user configure the whole string in trac.ini instead?

Cheers / Erik

And then I did change the workflow entries in trac.ini: *.name = reassign → *.name = reassign to

+1 to removing "to" from the source and putting it in the workflow .ini — I ran into this exact thing today.
