116922 - make it possible to edit attachment records on the "show bug" page

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Attachments & Requests, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

It should be possible to edit attachment records while editing the bug record
itself on the "show bug" page.  My initial thought is to have a button near the
list of attachments that says "Make Editable" or "Edit Inline" and which turns
the attachment list items into editable fields when clicked.  This could take
place either via JavaScript/DOM or via a CGI request and response from the
server (or both), with the former being preferred since the primary value of
this approach is editing speed.

Attachment: work-in-progress: JavaScript that generates UI

This patch adds JavaScript code to the show bug page that generates form fields
for editing attachments.  It also contains a Perl -> JavaScript value
converter.  Unfortunately bug 35007 (and possibly also bug 14445) mean that
Mozilla won't support such functionality any time soon.

Attachment: work in progress v2: adds statuses

This patch adds attachment statuses, which were accidentally missing from the
first work in progress.

Also, note that this patch checks the value of the "userequesttracker" param,
so that parameter should be defined either by applying the patches in bug 98801
or by manually adding it to your data/params file.
