Having editable issue comments adds a lot of complexity and potentially harmful side effects. For example, a user could comment "+1 if you like ice cream!" and receive supportive comments, then edit their comment to say "+1 if you like the 1981 Chicago Bulls", and now all the supportive comments are saying something they didn't intend.
The current behavior also ensures that changes to the issue are reflected in the comment stream, to preserve the history of the issue Perhaps a better solution would be to simply add additional comments to the issues stating that the revision it points to is now rYYY instead of the original rXXX. That way it's clear that the change happened, and the issue reflects both the old and new state. - Jason On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 11:40 AM, Giampaolo Rodola' <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi all, > is there any plan to make bug tracker comments editable? > This is very important for me because I want to migrate from SVN to > mercurial but the "rXXX" links in the bug tracker I've been using so far in > my projects (4+ years) will break. > I also submitted a ticket for this more than a year ago: > https://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=6071 > ...which got merged into: > https://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=5895 > ...which remained stagnant since it was submitted. > > Considering it's unlikely issue 5895 will be fixed any time soon is there > at least a plan for having editable issue comments for project admins? > This is very important for me, and it has been for over a year now, so any > clarification about this is welcome. > > Thanks in advance > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Project Hosting on Google Code" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-code-hosting?hl=en-US. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
