In Mylyn we want to support custom field support for creating new bugs.

But  for this we need a way to get the value of field fielddefs.enter_bug and fielddefs.type.

Without these information it is not possible to do the implementation in Mylyn.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=226851
 

Reproducible: Always

$dbh->bz_get_field_defs() is now useless and can be replaced by Bugzilla::Field->match(), which returns all the required data (i.e. objects).

I think for the types we should probably just use the numbers, since that text is localizable and this is supposed to be an interface used by programs.

I thought about that, but I'm not sure an internal number is really helpful. We should still have a way to get a readable string. Maybe display both information as two separate attributes?

Ah, yeah, good idea. :-) I'm glad to have bz_get_field_defs gone, too. :-)
