145009 - Default component when creating a bug

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 317051

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, enhancement)

Description

[Jody McIntyre]

Our Bugzilla has several products with a "general" component as well as more
specific components.  It would be nice if Bugzilla could automatically choose a
default component on enter_bug.cgi that the user could change if desired.

Bugzilla already chooses the component if only one is available; this
enhancement is for products wiith more than one component.

Hmmh... This should be optional, of course. I wouldn't want to use a default
component, because it would automatically mean that many bug reports would be
submitted without even the slightest effort to put them in their correct
components...

This could be done as a template change:

[% default.component_ = "General" IF product == "BAR" %]

A template change would be adequate for my purposes.

/me eagerly awaits Bugzilla 2.16 :)

I finally found the time to upgrade to 2.16.1 and placed:

[% default.component_ = "General" %]

in bug/create/create.html.tmpl.  This does what I want, so I consider this bug
fixed.

Thanks.
