300764 - Deadline field on show_bug should include documentation of the date format

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Colin Ogilvie [:cso]]

When you enable the timetrackinggroup, the deadline field which appears on
searching and creation has the format for the field specified, but on
show_bug.cgi, it doesn't. This is confusing to users who are just setting up a
deadline on a particular bug.

agreed... I believe the original patch author couldn't make the text fit
properly, and thus we ended up leaving the date format information in the error
message only. See bug 103636 comment 65 (and onwards) for some discussion on the
issue.

Patch v1

Aesthetics-wise not particularly pleasing, but much better than nothing and
certainly not worse than the time tracking toolbar as a whole ;-)
