Re: [libreoffice-users] Saving intermediate drafts of bug reports in Bugzilla

Hi :)
Post it anyway, then add to it later.

I really like Stuart's neat trick of marking it as "NeedInfo" yourself so
that the QA Team don't spend any time on it until after you are ready to
change that status.

QA has a lot to do so chances are that they probably wouldn't get around to
your bug-report anyway but marking it in that way should make sure of
that.

Also if it's marked as "NeedInfo" and some other user stumbles across it
then they might be able to add useful comments too.


Bug reports do not have to be perfect.  They work much the same way as
email threads in that you can add extra comments and attachments later.
Think more like conversation (maybe a little one-sided to start with!) than
report.
Regards from
Tom :)

What's wrong with working on it locally (in a plain text format) then
uploading or cutting/pasting that into a bug report once finished?

Hedley,

No way to do it like that. 

You can open a stub of the report set status to NEEDINFO.  And then flesh it 
out. But it would be visible to any BZ participant as you work on it. And, when 
finished crafting, set to UNCONFIRMED to alert the QA reviewers who will either 
set it back to NEEDINFO or if fully described and valid move it along as NEW.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Saving intermediate drafts of bug reports in 
Bugzilla

I am currently writing up my recent complaints about the handling of
graphics in Calc as an enhancement request bug report.

Is there any way I can save a report as a draft without publishing it so
that I can work on it in sessions rather than complete it all at once?

I know you guys and gals will come through!

Regards,
Hedley
