2043905 - Allow modifying (Firefox) bugs’ versions to older than ≈ 16 releases ago.

Status: NEW

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Bug Creation/Editing, defect)

Description

[Mr Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart [:B.RJL]]

Attachment: A Screenshot, Which Depicts The Current Inability To Replace Bugs’ Versions With Those Older Than ≈ 16 Releases Ago

My rationale is that:

• Occasionally, an old bug was filed without a version specified, but the first-affected version is discovered some years later. However, the bug cannot be set to that version, because even with EDITBUGS, the modifier cannot currently select a version older than 138, even though bugs filed on older versions remain on such versions.

• Similarly, if a ticket is accidentally modified, such that its old version is replaced with a newer one, it cannot be reverted to that old version any more.

This means that solely “Other Branch” or “Unspecified” are applicable.

My Environment

The affected version of Bugzilla is:

1. #!/usr/bin/env sh
   curl -s https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/rest/version | yq '.version'
   

2. 20260520.1

However, that I am user_id=691781 may also matter.

Regressed by bug 1877294 (and then bug 1886266)?
