578254 - Autocomplete user names in the UI for My Requests (request.cgi)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, enhancement, P1)

Description

[(no longer active)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #578253 +++

The "Requester" and "Requestee" boxes in /requests.cgi could probably use some autocomplete love, now that the rest of the user fields in Bugzilla have autocomplete support.

  This is the one area that won't be done for 4.0; we'll have to wait for 4.2 to autocomplete usernames here.

  I thought we already had a bug for this, but I guess not.

Comment 2

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Oh, wait, I misunderstood your request. You want My Requests to support this.

I'm not sure if we want to use userlist there, but perhaps we do. In any case, this would be 4.0.

Hmm, why would we not want to use userlists there, when we're already using them for the rest of the fields?

  It has to do with a parameter called usemenuforusers, which turns all userlists into drop-downs, for certain installations. But I talked to LpSolit and he thinks it's OK to use userlist, as long as we also include "-" for "no requestee" in the drop-down.
