Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 44
show list box for assigned-to entries
Last modified: 2008-05-17 23:48:32 UTC
If I want to assign an issue to a particular person I have to know the exact eMail address of that person. It would be very helpful if there was a list box containing eMail and real name entries from which to chose of, especially as eMail addresses may change for any reason, furthermore most Sunnies seem to keep their incredible long address I don't like to type everytime..

I agree that this is a nice to have enhancement to existing IssueZilla functionality. And I too have wished for this feature. However, I have "made do" with the the user search feature of IssueZilla to find user's exact email address: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/editusers.cgi I then cut/paste the address into the appropriate owner/cc/qa box. It is unlikely we will spend significant time updating "nice to haves" in IssueZilla because we're developing an improved issue-tracker, Scarab, to replace IssueZilla. The only reason we deployed IssueZilla at all is because Scarab is not ready yet. (See scarab.tigris.org). I'm recategorizing this as an "enhancement" rather than a new "feature" since it's just a UI modification to existing email-entry "widgets" rather than a new feature. I'm resolving this as "LATER" because it probably won't be resolved until Scarab is deployed. I consider the issue mostly resolved (or at least not a showstopper) because you still can use http://www.openoffice.org/issues/editusers.cgi to search for registered user names and then just paste those names into the to: or cc: field in issuezilla. If the above process doesn't work for you, feel free to reopen this request.
Please update the Status Whiteboard. Thanks, Stefan
Please update the Status Whiteboard to indicate the release, which will resolve the issue. Thanks, Stefan
Update: After the next upgrade you should only have to enter the username of the person to be assigned to the issue instead of the entire email address. There should also be a link called "lookup users" which will list usernames under 2 tabs "assignable users" and "project members". Action Plan: Let's take a look at this and confirm during the staging process for the next upgrade. Thanks, Kristen
