Assigning to myself to suggest better solution.
Created attachment 83368 [details] UI improving discoverability of the search
ok. it's just that it's summary instead of description we use for the search
Damn, I messed it up. My last attachment should have been to another issue (#165971). Please ignore it in context of this issue.
whatever. i still insist that summary should be used instead of description:)
Belongs to the other issue ;-), but agreed.
UI solution for this problem: Current state: -------------- [ ] Resolve as Fixed [ ] Add Commit Message from Above [ ] Add Revision Information to the Issue ([link: Change format...]) [ ] Add Issue Information to Commit Message ([link: Change format...]) Suggested: ---------- [ ] Resolve as Fixed [ ] Add Commit Message from Above ([link: Change format...]) The other two check-boxes would be on automatically. Assumptions behind: 1) Resolving an issue as fixed without referring to the revision this issue was fixed in is a bad practice. 2) Adding a message to an issue about a certain revision without referring to it is a bad practice. 3) Committing a revision related to an issue, without referring to this issue is a bad practice 4) Committing a revision which fixes an issue, without referring to this issue is a bad practice. 1&2 result in removal of the "Add Revision information to the Issue" checkbox. 3&4 result in removal of the "Add Issue information to Commit Message" checkbox. The 2 current "Change format" dialogs, should simply be integrated: ------------------------------------------------------------------- | Commit msg (version history) Issue | | -------------------------- ------------------------ | | | Issue #{id} - {summary} | | Revision: {revision} | | | | | | Author: {author} | | | | | | ... | | | | | | | | | -------------------------- ------------------------ | | O Above the Message O Above the Message | | O Below the Message O Below the Message | | | | [OK] [Cancel] | ------------------------------------------------------------------- Reassigning back for implementation, please contact me if there are any questions/concerns/.
