452809 - Put the status whiteboard and keywords in the Status block on show_bug.cgi

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

Someone moved things around in a way that doesn't make sense for Mozilla's Bugzilla. We use status white board a lot, in conjunction with the status to determine the, you know, status of a bug. It doesn't make sense for it to be miles away from the status (I mean, why even call it a "status" whiteboard). Additionally, in Mozilla's Bugzilla, keywords are used to define if a bug is fixed on certain branches. These are important to have near the status since they can dictate the status. Please move them back where they were.

They were only at the top due to a BMO customization after the last upgrade, not surprising that they defaulted back to where they were. So it's not so much they got "moved around" by someone as they _didn't_ get moved. We just need to apply similar customizations again.

For bmo, I agree that the Whiteboard and the Keywords should probably be in the Status block.

Other than that, it's ideal to do as little customization as possible. One thing that would be nice is if almost all Bugzillas had a consistent UI, since many people use multiple Bugzillas (I myself use five or so).

Can we get this change made?

Dave, Max, what do we need to do to get this fixed? This can't be a hard customization to make and it makes triage a lot harder...

Since it's essentially an enhancement request and not technically a bug-related regression, the thing to do is to get somebody internally to do it at MoCo, or get Justin to incorporate it as a part of a contract with Everything Solved (or just ask him to let us bill hourly for it, which we can also do).

For Mozilla's Bugzilla, it's definitely a regression. Regardless, CCing a few IT people...

Comment 7

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

All the discussion here has been about the whiteboard and keywords, so I'm just going to do that. Severity is probably fine where it is.
