Re: [Trac] Can "component" be a tick box, not a pull-down?
I agree, I'd also like to see multiple checkbox options and if I get the chance (ho ho) I'll munge up a patch for that. Unfortunately I don't have anything public facing that you can see, but if you're super keen I guess I can knock something up.

Re: [Trac] Can "component" be a tick box, not a pull-down?
I hear what you're saying Noah, but the key word is "usually". When it comes to something like a component the chances are that the requirement is to be 100% accurate. If the keywords were pre-defined and selectable then that might work.

That sounds like it would be more of a place to use tags via the keywords field. --Noah On Oct 20, 2010, at 5:04 PM, David Kirkby wrote: We use trac for Sage.
