312700 - Deadline field can't be searched in collectstats or whining

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 455099

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Teemu Mannermaa (:wicked)]

Even if the user that created whining or collectstats series has permission to
use timetracking fields, which includes deadline, the search will not honor
deadline criteria. This is because line 349 of Bugzilla/Search.pm doesn't use
the passed user but rather the global, undefined, user to check timetracking
group membership.

Are you talking about this line?

    if (Bugzilla->user->in_group(Param('timetrackinggroup'))){

You suggest that collectstats.pl should consider time related fields in all cases?

Yes. It needs to use the passed user object.

This may no longer be a valid bug?

On my system with Bugzilla 3.0 installed, I have a saved search that's using the Deadline in the boolean fields to send reminder emails as the date approaches, then more often on the day the deadline is reached.

And the whine e-mails are coming through just fine.
