Editing bug fields (e.g. depends on or blocks) should allow editing the alias instead of the bug number

The default view shows the aliases but when I click the "edit" link, it shows the bug numbers in the text field. The switch from aliases to numbers is confusing and makes it harder to switch from one alias to a similar one. e.g. from "australis" to "australis-cust". If the textbox had aliases instead of number this would mean just appending 5 characters whereas now I have to delete the correct bug number and then replace it with the whole new alias.

ishitva: Do you have a specific question? If so, please ask it. Because "check out the code, find places, make changes, test changes, create patch" is my answer to "suggestions on how to proceed", but not sure if that was really what you wanted to know plus it's entirely unrelated to the specific problem in this specific bug. Also see http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#explicit

Also see > http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#explicit Sorry for not clearly explaining the question.I will definitely take care of your suggestions now onwards. I wanted to know about: 1)What "aliases" refer to here? In my local development version I can see only the bug numbers in the "Depends on:" and "Blocks:" fields. How do I look at the aliases for the bugs? 2)The code for these fields is located here http://mxr.mozilla.org/bugzilla/source/template/en/default/list/edit-multiple.html.tmpl#234 .May I get a hint on how to implement the feature of making the aliases editable? Regards Ishitva
