853108 - Please add an auto-comment form when relnote flag is set to ?

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

As with our approval-mozilla-beta (and other) flags where we have a pre-populated form come up, we'd like this to happen with Tracking Flags: relnote set to ? as well - something like this (cc-ing relman in case there are tweaks to the text)

[Relnote Request]
What's the earliest release version this is being flagged for?
Does this disable or enable a feature (if yes, which feature)?
Does this affect addon compatibility?
If none of the above please give a brief description of the desired note:

there isn't the ability to do this in bugzilla currently, filed as bug 853333.
(you can do it for flags, but not custom fields).

we're on the cusp of deploying significant changes to the implementation of tracking flags on bmo; it would be best to wait until that has been deployed before working on bug 853333.

Byron, sorry for the ping but having this feature would be great for us (the release team). Is there a way to make this happens? Thanks

the blocker bug needs to be fixed first (bug 713307).

i've updated the patch and it's waiting on some time from dkl to review (he's been busy on a different high-priority issue recently).

So, once bug 713307 is fixed, we have wrote new auto-comments.


= relnotes? =
Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]:
[Suggested wording]:
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]:


--------------------

= tracking-firefoxXY: =
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:

--------------------

= blocking-b2g =
