Okay, so are we saying that Triaging, Adding/Removing Custom

where you are, Dashboard or Calendar?
That sounds right to me.
Invoking the Task stamp I think should pop-up the dialog asking
users if they want to apply/remove the stamp to the entire series,
the single occurrence or this and future occurrences, regardless of
where you are. Is this consistent with how you're thinking about
things? or would this require reworking?
There are some changes required here, so far as I can tell. In
general stamping and unstamping of occurrences is pretty broken right
now, but I'm hoping the changes I'm working on for bug 7446 will help
out muchly.
And Marking as Read/Unread/Needs reply always applies to the entire
series?
For some reason, the Read/Unread case seems more compelling to me
than Needs Reply. But I'd be happy to try Needs Reply this way, and
raise a hue and cry if it's not meeting my needs :).

Hi Mimi,
There is also the issue of triaging and marking recurring events as
read/unread/needs reply, also pasted below. Jeffrey, are we really
applying explicit triaging to the entire series? I couldn't
remember if
we only agreed to do that with Read/Unread/Needs reply status or
if we
are doing that with Triage as well.
I think triage status should continue to apply to individual
occurrences. There's fairly elaborate code to make triage status
per-occurrence based on start time, making triage changes apply in a
different way would be a lot of design back and forth and
implementation
time.
*Also...the stuff in the Triaging/Marking as Read/Unread section,
should
the same rules apply to Stamping to Add to/Remove from Task list and
Adding/Removing Reminders? Both can be done from the Dashboard.*
Currently we only allow stamping as a task to apply to individual
occurrences. That was before the recurrence branch landed, I
think it
would be reasonable to allow either now, but at least in the
dashboard,
I'm happy with the task stamp always applying to individual
occurrences.
Reminders added through the dashboard are absolute reminders.
Right now
you can't add a reminder to a recurring event through the dashboard,
that's bug 8214. When you can, I'd say that to be consistent we
should
add an absolute reminder to individual occurrences, not make reminder
changes apply to all occurrences. Setting a later 5PM/8AM absolute
reminder when looking at an occurrence just seems like a one off
behavior, not something likely to apply to all occurrences.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
