365129 - When moving a bug to another product and the target product has only one component, version or target milestone, automatically select them instead of throwing an error

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

When I change a bug's product, and I forget to select a version from the list, I get:

Bugzilla has suffered an internal error. Please save this page and send it to [e-mail] with details of what you were doing at the time this message appeared.

URL: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/process_bug.cgi

Form field version was not defined.

If there is only one version/component/milestone available, process_bug.cgi should use it instead of complaining.

Comment 2

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

This error message should also be a user error and not a code error, since it's not Bugzilla being broken, but something the user overlooked that they can fix.  (Fixing it for them when it's obvious should be done, too, of course).  People emailing bugzilla-admin because they forgot to pick a version and the error message told them to mail it in is a bad thing.

When moving a bug to another product, process_bug.cgi sets the component and version if only one exists.

If we are not moving the bug to another product, then these fields should be always defined. If they are not, there is really something wrong and I don't want process_bug.cgi to guess anything.

i was moving from mozilla.org to Firefox there is definitely more than one available. but this is very annoying.

Works correctly. Even when hacking a normal (non-product-move) process_bug.cgi POST and not submitting a version (wondered about this).
