377494 - Right click -> edit Item opens only one edit event dialog even if multiple are selected

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 378444

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen] [:📆][:🧩]]

Attachment: Fix opening multiple dialogs

In lightning:
* Select multiple events with CTRL
* CTRL+Right click on the last event
* choose "Edit Item"

Results:
* Multiple event dialogs are opened, one for each event.

Expected:
* Only one dialog should be opened


If this is already the way it should be, then it should also be like that in sunbird.

Fix opening multiple dialogs

IMO we need UI review for this handling. I see multiple options:
- open an event dialog for the last selected
- open event dialogs for all currently selected (current implementation)
- don't offer "Edit Item" at all when selecting multiple items
and possibly many more...

Where is the benefit from not allowing users to open one or more event dialogs or tasks dialogs at the same time? Doing that would force users to work in a sequential way. This might be good for novice user, but it would limit users with more experience and skills. With this change it would not be possible to compare two or more events at the same time. I think we should stick to the current implementation.

In that case, I am morphing this to a Sunbird bug, since Sunbird only opens one dialog, regardless of how many events are selected.

Philipp, should we dupe this bug against Bug 378444?

Sounds like a good idea
