803545 - Should be able to enter partial needinfo flag requestee

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Needinfo is great, except that you have to enter the full email address rather than just a subset of it, and it doesn't autocomplete. This is in stark contrast to assignee and CC, where you can enter a unique substring and it just works.

Not sure why it is not working for you. It seems to work fine for me when I enter :JOE, I get a drop down below the text field that has yours and other matches listed. When selecting your entry it fills in the field with your address.

Can you tell me if there is in any errors showing up in the javascript console?

Oh, I'm not seeing any dropdowns for anything right now (unrelated retina macbook bug).

However the other half of this bug is that the needinfo backend seems to not want to use unique substrings as part of needinfo. For example, I just entered "dkl@mozilla" in the "Need additional information from other" below, but it says to me "There is no user named 'dkl@mozilla'. Either you mis-typed the name or that user has not yet registered for a Bugzilla account." when I press Save Changes, which is unlike other userid entry boxes in Bugzilla.

I do get an autocomplete drop-down, which is why I filed bug 804216 separately.

Thanks. I am working on a patch to allow for user matching based on a partial user name similar to how assignee and qa contact work. So I wanted to track it here as well since that is what is not working.
