Hi,
To add a custom extra string to a bug I use "be show --xml <bug>", add
an XML tag like
<extra-string>MYKEY:myvalue</extrastring>
and then import this file with "be import-xml -r <bugdir> <file>".
This works just fine.
But how do I remove such a custom extra-string? The documentation of
"import-xml" says:
*.extra_strings recieves special treatment, and if --add-only is not
set, the resulting list concatenates both source lists and removes
repeats.
My understanding is that if I supply an XML file which has the above
line *twice* will remove the extra string from the bug ("removes
repeats"). But this is not happening (it is still there, but not
duplicated). Am I doing something wrong, is the help misleading, or is
the implementation buggy?
Furthermore, if extra-strings is not supposed to be used for *custom*
strings, is there something different to use / abuse to add
functionality without altering "be" itself? I'd like to use
extra-strings to add effort estimations to bugs. Note that I use "be"
via an own interface, so the set of commands required can be ugly, as
long as it works. ;)
Any help appreciated in advance!
Cheers,
Sebastian
