540044 - Adding/removing self from CC should both be checkbox operations in default skin

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, enhancement)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

At the moment, adding oneself to CC if one is not added involves checking a checkbox. This is good.

However, removing oneself involves clicking "edit", finding oneself in the list, and selecting that entry. This is unnecessarily complicated.

Consistency and ease suggest that in all cases, a bug should have a checkbox which, when checked meant you are CCed, and when unchecked meant you are not.

As I recall, we actually originally implemented it this way. I don't remember why we switched, but without inspecting that, I do agree with you that it should be a checkbox to remove yourself.

I think that's a good idea. 3.0 had it the way it is now so i know i didn't remove it in my reconfig of the edit page. Not sure when it was implemented mkanat. Should be pretty easy to do though.

I thought we actually already had this in one of the iterations of pyrzak's redesign of show_bug, but I guess it didn't last through to the end, for some reason? In any case, yeah, I'm in favor of it for sure.

Bugzilla 6.0 will ship with the new modal UI created for BMO, which offers the convenient Follow button.
