1294519 - When an API field name is used inside of a boolean chart search it doesn't do internal name conversion properly

Status: NEW

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: API, defect)

Description

[Mike Hoye [:mhoye]]

Per an IRC conversation with dkl in #bmo:

16:14 < mhoye> What I'd like is "bug was last modified on this day", but my attempts to do this via the API are returning all the bugs in the component
               that meet my other criteria, but not filtering on last_change_time.
16:16 <@dkl> mhoye: let me see
16:18 < mhoye> Thank you
16:21 <@dkl> mhoye: use delta_ts instead:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/rest/bug?include_fields=id,summary,status&component=Administration&f1=delta_ts&o1=greaterthan&product=bugzilla.mozilla.org&resolution=---&v1=2016-08-10
16:22 <@dkl> and file a bug. for some reason when an API field name is used such as last_change_time inside of a boolean chart search it doesnt do the
             name conversion properly to the internal name
16:22 < mhoye> Man, what a relief that is.

It really was a relief I'm not used to problems in my code being anyone else's fault.

This kind of incompatibility might block the new search results page that retrieves results via API.

Currently when I use the Advanced Search page, I get:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?o1=greaterthan&v1=2016-08-10&f1=delta_ts&resolution=---&query_format=advanced&component=Administration&product=bugzilla.mozilla.org

(not last_change_time but delta_ts) which is compatible with the REST API:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/rest/bug?include_fields=id,summary,status&o1=greaterthan&v1=2016-08-10&f1=delta_ts&resolution=---&query_format=advanced&component=Administration&product=bugzilla.mozilla.org

Using the last_change_time field still leads to an error, but this won’t block Bug 1529362.
