Description Lou Dasaro 2014-01-10 19:13:45 UTC 
This is to request the following feature in Synergy:

As a tribe leader or similar owner-role performing metadata entry on test cases,
I would like to be able to have the most recent product and component that I had previously selected, preselected when entering those fields in a test case for which no product and component are currently selected.
So that I can more efficiently manage testing performed by my tribe

Rationale:
Currently the dropdowns land on the first available product and component when entering them for a test case, requiring the enterer to scroll down to their product and component of interest. It's redundant and time-consuming to have to change them from "apisupport" to my area of functionality every time.
Comment 1 Vladimir Riha 2014-01-10 20:13:44 UTC 
You mean for test suite,right? I could save it to browser's local storage. All modern browsers support it and data are kept stored unless you clear browsing data (so it will survive browser restart). Would that be sufficient?
Comment 2 Lou Dasaro 2014-01-10 21:45:43 UTC 
Yes, on the Test Suite. You are correct, and your plan for implementation sounds good, too. Thanks!
Comment 3 Vladimir Riha 2014-01-10 22:12:38 UTC 
I was just making sure if it is OK to do it in browser rather than saving on server.

Should be done, will be live in 30mins (you might have to reload page without cache - e.g. Ctrl+R should do the trick, just to be sure). If suite has product & component set to "unknown" (aka none), it will use the last used pair of values.
Comment 4 Lou Dasaro 2014-01-13 01:11:53 UTC 
The only thing that's quirky about this is that the UI doesn't indicate whether this is the "saved" Product/Component pair, or just the one being "suggested".
Other than that, it works!
Comment 5 Vladimir Riha 2014-01-13 07:39:48 UTC 
Yep, I realized the same. I added warning message if this case happens. I'll push it after Beta readiness testing.
