Description Frank Becker

Actual the options in TaskAttribute are not used. Instead BugzillaAttributeMapper.getOptions use the options from the RepositoryConfiguration.

I think we should 
a) remove  set of the options in the TaskAttributes (RepositoryConfiguration.updateAttributeOptions)
b) BugzillaAttributeMapper.getOptions must detect if the RepositoryConfiguration has changed since update of the TaskAttribute Options.

I think we should implement b) and use the lastModifiedHeader field and store it in the root TaskAttribute.

Thoughts?

The options are saved in the attribute in case the configuration is lost, e.g. due to an update of the schema. We should consider an API to inform the framework when the configuration changes or update it in place when a change is detected.

I'm -1 on the proposed changes. I believe the current implementation is sufficient for providing the latest options, e.g. for display in the task editor.
