Its annoying to have to go to the editor page for a repository task to mark it complete. I'd like to schedule/mark complete repository tasks just from the task list action menu like a local task.
Rob: when doing this consider creating a RepositoryTaskAction that will encapsulate the additional need to submit, etc. It is already something that works for Attach Contexts, and this is simlar. Marking priorities and changing descriptions could work in a similar way as well, and not involve the bug editor. Also, keep in mind that it should be possible to invoke such RepositoryTaskAction's programatically, e.g. if trying to mark all tasks due scheduled for week to a particular priority.
Do you mean, "mark complete" for a bugzilla task == post a "resolved fixed" to the repository in behind-the-scenes? If so, I really like the idea, but you should note that the implementation can be a little more complex. E.g: in my bugzilla installation, I turned on a parameter to require a comment on bug resolution. Also, we adopted a team procedure to mark the target milestone every time a bug is resolved. So, in case of repository connectors, the "mark complete" action may trigger some kind of action to make the user input some necessary data.
Yes, that's what I meant, and we'll definitely have to keep that in mind. We already have mechanism for enforcing comments to be sent (e.g. Attach Context uses that), but it's good to know about your target milestone convention.
Yes, it's the same convention Eclipse Platform's team uses (resolved fixed + comment + target milestone).
Just one more note about the "enforcing comment" stuff: the Attach Context asks for a comment, but does not required it (I can leave a empty comment and just hit OK). In the bugzilla case, there is a parameter that enforces a comment on resolution (off by default; I turned it on). In this case, the server will refuse to submit the request unless some comment is provided (I don't know if there is some meta-data where this config info can be extracted; I guess there isn't...).
I think I already suggested this somewhere, but how about move entrire Action section into dialog and show that dialog when completing tasks from popup menu as well as on submit button from the editor?
Will address this along with change to priority from tasklist in 1.0.
