97733 - Renaming/deleting attachment status should write to activity.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 100090

(Bugzilla :: Attachments & Requests, defect, P1)

Description

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

When you rename or delete attachment statuses, bug activity entries should be
written detailing the change, on all bugs with that attachment status.

Why?

We don't do this for any other change of this sort, from username changes down.
(Theres another bug on that)

Comment 2

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

Why?  For the same reason we would do it for other changes: to let people know
about the change.  That's the point of change mail, and these are changes.  The
fact that they are administrative changes as opposed to user changes does not
make them more intuitively understandable to users.

On the other hand, large changes are often excepted from the
send-mail-on-changes rule, and this should probably be a preference for all
kinds of administrative changes.  Perhaps, on submission of the change, the
administrator can receive a message telling them how many bugs will be affected
by the change and prompting them to decide whether or not to send email about it
(no email by default).

I'd definately support making it optional. We don't want to rewrite history, but
we don't want to spam the world every time we change Javascript to JavaScript.

As bbaetz said, there's already a general bug for this, it was just filed later.

clearing target milestone on resolved non-FIXED bugs so they'll get re-triaged
if they get reopened.
