1568592 - Custom fields are lost when using Edit Search

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

Reported by :pascalc on IRC. Bugzilla accepts cf_* params for search queries, but when you follow the Edit Search link on the search results page, you’ll notice that these custom fields are not listed on the Advanced Search page.

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=---&resolution=FIXED&cf_tracking_firefox69=blocking&cf_status_firefox69=---&cf_status_firefox69=affected
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?resolution=---&resolution=FIXED&cf_tracking_firefox69=blocking&cf_status_firefox69=---&cf_status_firefox69=affected

It works if you create a lengthy query using Custom Search like this:

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=---&resolution=FIXED&f1=cf_tracking_firefox69&o1=anyexact&v1=blocking&f2=cf_status_firefox69&o2=anyexact&v2=---%2C%20affected
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?resolution=---&resolution=FIXED&f1=cf_tracking_firefox69&o1=anyexact&v1=blocking&f2=cf_status_firefox69&o2=anyexact&v2=---%2C%20affected

Looks like this is a longstanding issue and Bug 342113 tried to solved it. But the patch is not yet back-ported to BMO and tracking flags are not taken into account. Given many flags, we should probably show custom fields in the Custom Search section instead of adding a bunch of form widgets.
