377482 - The 'musthavemilestoneonaccept' parameter is not taken into account on bug creation

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

Now that we can file bugs with the ASSIGNED status, post_bug.cgi should make sure that the 'musthavemilestoneonaccept' parameter is respected, i.e. that a target milestone is also set. Else you could file bugs having the default target milestone despite they are already ASSIGNED. And process_bug.cgi won't complain because this check is made at the exact time when you accept a bug, not when the status is already ASSIGNED (not sure process_bug's behavior makes sense, but that's not the topic of the day).

This rises another problem: if the 'letsubmitterchoosemilestone' param is off, even users with editbugs privs cannot set the target milestone on bug creation, and so if we fix this bug, we have to make sure post_bug.cgi will still let you file bugs with ASSIGNED as bug status even if you cannot set the target milestone. Workaround: always let users with editbugs privs set the target milestone on bug creation if 'musthavemilestoneonaccept' is turned on.

The musthavemilestoneonaccept parameter is being removed in bug 399078.
