In the UI for setting up flags (editflagtypes.cgi), it is not clear that the default if nothing is either specificically included or excluded is that everything is excluded. Since the drop-down fields look very inclusive by default, this should either be explicitly stated in the text of the UI or else the default when a new flag is created should be to make it included in all. Also, the whole flags feature needs a serious doc update or a good explanation in the UI.

I think defaulting to all categories for a new flag type is reasonable. Here's a patch that does that.

This should go to the Documentation component and have its dependency dropped, since it's "fixed" in terms of code.

Jake is leaving for a while (Reserve unit got called up), and we don't have a new docs owner yet. Anyone interested in helping out, please add documentation@bugzilla.org to your watch list in your email preferences in Bugzilla.

Um, as far as I can see, there isn't any flags documentation at all, now... I'll write it, but I wanted to know if there's something I should be modifying, or if I should just create it out of whole cloth.

Yeah. Those are bugs 198019 and 198020.

Nothing in comment 9 says this is fixed... those bugs are about documentation, not better UI.

OK, you're right. I should read the whole bug. :) Comment 4 is where it says so though. :)
