Public bug reported: Launchpad has some nonobvious rules about how multiple bug tasks interact, but this is not documented publicly afaics. (See eg bug 425465.)
wgrant: poolie: Did you work out bug #425465, or want an explanation? There are two bugs there, as you suspect. ubottu: Launchpad bug 425465 in malone "cannot target series bugtask to a milestone?" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/425465 poolie: wgrant: it's not actually blocking me atm but i'd still like an explanation wgrant: poolie: So, there is the icon vs. text bug, as you said. wgrant: In fact, there are three bugs. 12:40 wgrant: There's the bug that the non-AJAX links are bad for productseries tasks -- they point to the product task directly. wgrant: And then there's the bug that +editstatus renders for conjoined slaves. wgrant: Renders, but then crashes on submission. wgrant: Are you aware of the conjoined task rules? poolie: wgrant: the last is the most serious for me wgrant: poolie: The last is meant to be broken, just in a more obvious way. poolie: wgrant: not really, i'm aware there are some but ... this ui is not making it clear how they're meant to be working 12:45 poolie: i can see that the trunk task should be coupled to the overall bug status or something poolie: however, this happens even when i try to target what i think of as the supplementary task wgrant: Right. wgrant: That's the second bug I mentioned. wgrant: If you can invoke the AJAX, it should work fine. wgrant: You just have to find the right bit of the link to hit. wgrant: (a conjoined slave cannot be edited directly. a product task is a conjoined slave iff the bug also has a non-WONTFIX'd task for the product's development focus series. in that case, anything linking to the product task's +editstatus needs to be hit with a cluebat.) 12:50 poolie: i don't suppose this is documented other than in wgrant? :) wgrant: poolie: No, it's not documented anywhere except the code and IRC logs. ** Affects: launchpad-documentation Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: malone Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: launchpad-documentation Importance: Undecided Status: New -- no documentation or help on conjoined bug tasks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425490 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Launchpad Documentation Team, which is subscribed to Launchpad Documentation. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-doc Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-doc More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
