Re: [fossil-users] Is it possible to edit a ticket's submission time?
Just for grins I set my date back to Jan 1st, created a ticket then rebooted. I synced the ticket to my central repo. I'll post back here if this hack breaks anything, but no problems that I could detect. The first ticket here: http://www.kiatoa.com/fossils/megatest, has a creation date from before the repo was created. 2011-01-01 07:00 New ticket [12ff34a800]http://www.kiatoa.com/cgi-bin/fossils/megatest/info/12ff34a800 *Test ticket*. (user: matthttp://www.kiatoa.com/cgi-bin/fossils/megatest/timeline?u=mattc=2011-01-01+07%3A00%3A51nd) Total time, 20 seconds to make a backup of the fossil, set the date and add ticket, 2 minutes to reboot (slow netbook) and sync.

Re: [fossil-users] Is it possible to edit a ticket's submission time?
Would it be possible to add this feature, at least for making tickets older than the date they were entered? Is there a strong reason to disallow the editing of time stamps on tickets? For my $0.02, I think adding such a feature would require a fair development effort. You'd need to have UI for manipulating a timestamp, or significant validation code on the backend, or both. FWIW, Fossil does allow you to add fields to the ticket table, markup to the ticket create/edit/view pages, and customize the ticket reports. So it seems like you could add your own field for storing your custom timestamp, and update your ticket reports to reference/include the custom field. You'd probably need to do whatever validations you need in client-side javascript. I think there's info in the Fossil Wiki about adding custom fields. -Clark From: Ross Berteig r...@cheshireeng.com To: fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org Sent: Thursday, September 1, 2011 5:54 PM Subject: Re: [fossil-users] Is it possible to edit a ticket's submission time?

Would it be possible to add this feature, at least for making tickets older than the date they were entered? Is there a strong reason to disallow the editing of time stamps on tickets? From a quick skim of the documentation on how tickets work at all, it would appear that all one would need to make a ticket appear at an earlier time in the timeline is a ticket artifact containing the right ID, and with the right date, and possibly containing a change for at least one other field. If the date on the artifact is earlier than all others, then it would appear first in the timeline, and give me the effect I want. I'm not certain it is possible to move a ticket completely into the future. My understanding is that the individual artefacts that make up the ticket are immutable, so it wouldn't be possible to replace the oldest artefact with one with a newer date, and additional artefacts changing a ticket with newer dates are what happens when you edit a ticket now.

Exactly. Maybe the ticket entry processing could be enhanced to automatically create an event in the case that a ticket's submission date/time is earlier than it's creation date/time? Even simpler would be to include the ticket's creation date as a field on the new ticket entry form, pre-filled to now, instead of it being a system-generated field that is not shown to the user. From a user standpoint, this would look just like the date entry on the New Event page, and could work similarly. I'm not sure it really needs any validation, but it would make sense to prevent the creation of a ticket in the future if that were trivial. This would satisfy my needs for new batches of bug reports, and I can live with the current state for all those already entered. The downside of this is that there is no way to edit the ticket time once the ticket is submitted, which could be needed if a gross typo were made. I'm just trying to avoid the strong temptation to deconstruct the repo, edit the offending ticket's artefact's D record by hand, and reconstruct Ross Berteig r...@cheshireeng.com Cheshire Engineering Corp. http://www.CheshireEng.com/ +1 626 303 1602 +1 626 351 1590 FAX ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
Re: [fossil-users] Is it possible to edit a ticket's submission time?
How many tickets are we talking about? If it is only a few then perhaps try the following: # Set your system date to the date for the ticket sudo date -s 08/11/2011 # create the ticket fossil ui # repeat for remaining tickets Maybe do it in a virtualbox instance just be sure to put the date back to where it should be before syncing.

[fossil-users] Is it possible to edit a ticket's submission time?
For a project that I don't pay attention to daily, I would like to retroactively create tickets corresponding to issues raised in email from my customer. Creating the tickets is easy, although not a particularly exciting task. However, I would like to place the tickets in context in the timeline view, as if they had been entered in a more timely fashion. Events directly support editing their date and time in the web UI, but I haven't spotted the equivalent affordance for editing a ticket's date and time. Is it possible, and if so, how do I do it?
