I'm filing this since I'm under the impression that Bugzilla is no longer
designed to handle open bugs with a resolution.

It seems that mass reassignment of a bug that is RESOLVED-LATER can cause the
bug to change to NEW without clearing the resolution.  See diffs below.

(BTW, it would be nice to be able to reassign LATER/REMIND bugs without
reopening them.)

Terry does the underlying MySQL bug table have row restrictions?  If so you
might want to add this in case there are any more situations you missed.
MySQL doesn't have a concept of "row restrictions".

Huh.  Okay, well, changing owner should definitely clear the resolution,
however, the second point doesn't really fly with me.  Why bother reassinging a
bug if it's going to retain the later status?  Especially as the dafault query
is New|Assigned|Reopened, so if you reassigned a bug, but it retained it's
Resolved/Later state, it's entirely possible that the new person would never see
it.  If that's the case, just close the bug out as wontfix and save some effort.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Reassigning would generate a notification.

I assume people who use REMIND/LATER have queries and periodically check for
them, so it shouldn't drop away.

Of course, REMIND and LATER should be nuked from orbit, it's the only way to be
sure.

Good lord....

This is still here...  I just did it to 151 bugs.

I did a mass-move on INVALID/WONTFIX/DUPLICATE/WORKSFORME from Webtools/Bugzilla
to Bugzilla/Bugzilla-General, and did reassign to default owner so that if any
of them got reopened someone who still cared would get the email.

We need this on b.m.o's next update before we continue to move bugs.

Expected behavior is that there is no change in bug_status if the bug_status is
already a state that's considered closed, unless the status is also changing for
some other reason as a result of the change (i.e. you clicked the reopen button).
Severity: normal → critical

AIUI you can't reopen and reassign ...

There is no $::FORM...  it's %::FORM unless you're providing a key.

Jake says he tested it and it works.  My visual inspection says it's good this time.  Since we're dealing with process_bug ickyness, and it's after 2am where I am, I suggest a second review.

One note on this: not all bugs get sent to NEW.  There is one bug from tonight's
mass move by dave that got sent to UNCO.  Bug 66191.
Summary: resolution kept in mass reassignment of resolved bugs → status not kept in mass reassignment of resolved bugs
yeah, someone just "fixed" the unconfirmed one for us.

The code works on my test installation, however...

>Index: process_bug.cgi
  ...
>+        if ( ($::FORM{knob} eq 'reassign' || $::FORM{knob} eq 'reassignbycomponent') &&
  ...
>+            $::query .= "bug_status = IF(bug_status IN($open_state), '$str', bug_status)";
>+            return;
>+        }
>         if (IsOpenedState($str)) {

Returning within the first if statement means the following line of code 
in this script never gets called when the first if conditional is true:

        $::FORM{'bug_status'} = $str; # Used later for call to
                                      # CheckCanChangeField to make sure this
                                      # is really kosher.

That's a security bug.  I suggest removing the return and making the second if
into an elsif to ensure it doesn't get called when the first if conditional
is true.

Myk, not setting |$::FORM{bug_status} = $str;| isn't a security issue as we
(more likely than not) aren't really changing the status.  Unfortunately, there
is no way in the code to know if we are really changing the status or not (as
this is done before we even enter the loop that determines what bug(s) we are
changing).

Also, reassigning a bug requires the same permission as changing its status. 
While this may not always be true, it is at the moment and I really can't think
of another solution.
>Myk, not setting |$::FORM{bug_status} = $str;| isn't a security issue as we

If I read the SQL query correctly, however, it is possible for the statuses of
some of the bugs being reassigned to get changed.

The current solution is fine, it should just include the last line of the
function so the appropriate security check gets done.

If you make this "elsif", then you don't need "$::FORM{bug_status} = $str;" 
or "return;" here, saving you two lines of code.
