Description Thomas Ehrnhoefer CLA 2010-06-21 17:31:16 EDT
Some repositories don't support comments. The attachments wizard page should have a "setNeedsComment" to show/hide the comments editor

Thanks for the patch Thomas. Currently, repository connectors that do not support comments are not very well supported by the framework. The attach context dialog for instance makes the same assumption that it is always possible to submit a comment along with an attachment.

It seems to me that support for comments should be a capability on AbstractRepositoryConnector or part of the attachment data model rather than something that is handled on the UI level. What are your thoughts?
Comment 4 Thomas Ehrnhoefer CLA 2010-07-03 16:00:39 EDT
Sure, that sounds reasonable. I will rewrite the patch
