177337 - magical My Bugs query can coexist with a real query named "My Bugs"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 133173

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Steve VanSlyck]

Bugzilla allows non-unique names for user's remembered queries. Suggest
requiring unique names.

If you try to remember a query with the same name as one already remembered,
both are saved in the footer, but only one can be run or deleted from the
dropdown box.

Steps to reproduce:
1. on http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi, set up a query and select "Remember
this query and name it My Bugs", check "put in my page footer"
2. change the query and "Remember this query and name it My Bugs" AGAIN, check
"put in my page footer"
3. Observe "My Bugs  My Bugs" in footer.  Both can be run
4. "Forget my remembered query" for one of them (seems to be the second one that
gets forgotten)
5. Can't forget the other one, but it remains in the footer.

Expected results: the second one remembered should replace the first one.

|My Bugs| is a special case, ebcause the orignal query isn't really a stored entry.

The other queries will replace exisitng ones if they aalready exist

But they don't. Just yesterday I was allowed to save separate queries under the
same name - and both names appeared in the page footer. I manually deleted the
one that was to have been replaced.

Also - I was able to run both queries.

wfm, in fact the status message for this case wasn't good enough for me so i
just improved it.

Comment 6

[Steve VanSlyck]

THis should not be WFM. Try to save a query with the name "My Bugs" - It will
not replace the default, which shows only a subset of someone's submitted bugs.

Comment 7

My Bugs is not a query. It's a magical hack.

make My Bugs behave like a normal query

the idea presented on bug 133173 may be a better way to do this, but nobody's
written a patch to do it yet...
