Description

[Jouni Heikniemi]

Quoting Myk from bug 71330:
--
enter_bug.cgi allows you to create a template with fields on the
"enter bug" form pre-filled to make entering bugs easier when you often enter
bugs with similar information.  This "template" takes the form of a URL with
parameters that you can bookmark.  All fields should be pre-fillable, but the
security group checkboxes aren't because of a bug.  For example, if you have
access to the Bugzilla security group, the following URL should give you an
"enter bug" form with the security group checkbox checked, but it doesn't:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&bit-512=1
--

Note that bug 71330 has a bitrotten fix for this, but it's buried in a
mega-patch-thingy with a dozen of other bugs.

Is anybody actually pursuing this? I have the same problem in 2.16, and with the
new html templates, I am not quite sure how to fix this.

[Bernd Kuemmerlen]

Whoops, sorry, this was wrong. My problem is not related to this bug (it has to
do with a custom template I created which does not carry forth the bug group...)

Sorry for the spam
