You can can setup bugzilla to support private comments and attachments. It would be useful to be able to create a private comment or attachment from within the bugzilla connector. This can be setup by setting a group for the insidergroup in the Group Security settings.
Actual I see no way to get this without an enhancement in Bugzilla. There is no way to get the Info if an user is in the insidergroup. Should we open an bug for this in bugzilla? Do you want this in config.cgi?ctype=rdf or should we use this over an webservice?
+1 this would be great to see
Frank, if feasible, it makes sense to try to get this into the rdf for the short term, then we can look at inclusion in the web service later. If this makes sense, go ahead and file a bug against bugzilla and throw me on the cc. Depending on release timing, we may be able to make this happen for 3.4.

I create an bug which was marked as duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449139. Patch V4 include the information we need for this fix.
Great!
Rob, why is this scheduled for 3.4? As far as I can tell this is still waiting on upstream Bugzilla changes.
I think we'd like to keep it on that target in hopes that your patch gets accepted.
Ok. Then let's hope there is some progress on the Bugzilla end in the next four weeks. We'll need to get this in by May 26th or postpone to the next release.
Frank, can you ping on the Bugzilla bug? It looks like your latest patch is still awaiting review.

*** Bug 342109 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hello, Ok , I've updated to Bugzilla 3.6.4, and now I can see private comments on Eclipse/Mylyn... But in task edition I cannot enter private comment. Also private comments doesn't not distinguish from non-private ones. Could u make them distinguishable?
Frank, what is the status of this bug?
(In reply to comment #13) > Frank, what is the status of this bug? I can now start with this. Should I do 1) But we can only create private comments if the bug already has at least one private comment. I think this is the same for attachments. or 2) Or should we create an checkbox in the Repository Settings Dialog under Additional Settings so an user can set this if he know that he is in the insidergroup. I would prefer 2) Thoughts?
(2) sounds good to me. We should also file a bug against Bugzilla to provide remote API for detecting the ability to submit private comments. Since we are already close to RC3 is it okay if we move this bug to 3.7?

Frank, can you summarize the status of this bug?
I create an checkbox in the Repository Settings Dialog under Additional Settings so an user can set this if he know that he is in the insider group. (In reply to comment #17) > Frank, can you summarize the status of this bug? Here is what we have: * support for toggle the is_private for comments * support for creating private comments What we need: * add support for attachments * add comment actions to context menu * create an Bugzilla enhancement but to include the local comment number in the xml and webservice API Until we have the local comment number we have the following problem. If an user is not in the insider group and look into an task with private comments we can not generate the correct "(In reply to comment # <local comment number>). This is the reason for the Bugzilla enhancement.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675502 is the bug for the xml request https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675517 is for the webservice and is already fixed! As part of bug# 354023 we can fix this
Thanks for the great summary! If we can avoid depending on XML-RPC this would be preferable since it's not enabled on all Bugzilla instances.

Only the bug for the webservice is solved, maybe you should comment/vote on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675502
