438809 - Do a better job of fixing queries when renaming Products and Components

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 233617

(Bugzilla :: Administration, task)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Currently, saved queries and chart queries break when people rename Products and Components. We should do a better job of making fewer of them break. We probably can't fix Boolean Charts due to their freeform nature, but it should be possible to fix standard query parameters with 100% accuracy using regexps. We can print a warning about Boolean Charts.

I have some scripts I wrote for the b.m.o. reorg which may contain useful code. I'll attach them here.

Possibly a dupe of the more general bug#110007, that probably covers both products and components (bug#233617), and userids (bug#192052)

Perhaps. But this bug has actual code :-)

This is in no way an excuse. We dupe bugs with patches in them all the time. It's more important to keep older bugs open as they already have comments and a CC list.
