100407-2b245ede8704. It is nice that when committing you can also close a bug as FIXED and add a comment with the changeset ID. But I usually also want to set the Target Milestone, say to "6.9". Invariably I forget, the bug is closed as FIXED with TM=TBD, and I need to go back and make its metadata consistent by setting TM. Would be better if there were an option in the commit dialog to also update the TM at the same time it is closed. The dialog could remember the last-selected TM for convenience.
> I need to go back and make its metadata consistent by setting TM the issue should be opened in an editor tab right after the commit, feel free to file another issue if that doesn't happen in your case however, i agree that it would be useful to have access also to other issue fields. Could hotfix the milestone with a switch as it seems to be a typical usecase with nb bugzilla. cc xdesign
(In reply to comment #1) > the issue should be opened in an editor tab right after the commit Yes, this works, which does help. Even if that is enough to remind me to set the TM, the result is two separate changes to the issue, meaning two emails, which is undesirable. > Could hotfix the milestone with a switch Something like the following? -J-Dnetbeans.bugzilla.target.milestone=6.9 > as it seems to be a typical usecase with nb bugzilla. And I think in many other instances too. Some project admins do not bother to set up values for this field, but I have experience with e.g. Apache Ant using TM similarly to us.
> Something like the following? > -J-Dnetbeans.bugzilla.target.milestone=6.9 yes. maybe a bit more generic schema, something like -J-Dnetbeans.vcshook.bugzilla.[bugzilla_field_name]=[value] so in our case it would be -J-Dnetbeans.vcshook.bugzilla.target_milestone=6.9
http://hg.netbeans.org/cdev/rev/93044cbeb816 fixed
switch netbeans.vcshook.bugzilla.[fieldname]=[value] e.g. netbeans.vcshook.bugzilla.target_milestone=6.9
Thanks, I will try that for a while so we can see if a GUI option would be useful.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201004131450* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/93044cbeb816 User: Tomas Stupka <tstupka@netbeans.org> Log: Issue #183682 - Option to set Target Milestone upon commit
Seems to have stopped working recently. I will note that this issue did not have its Target Milestone set. :-)
Never mind, I guess it is working; cache problems in browser, I guess.
