No ... it's not intuitive, and it doesn't seem to link into the searching system in the same way. A slight help would be making "Whiteboard" a hyperlink to some help text, just as are "Status," "Resolution," "Priority," and "Severity" in the show_bug.cgi output. Otherwise, it seems rather puzzling, such as the unexpected "URL" field that I've just never figured out how to use. > > The "Version" field can't be edited once set.

I was expecting (at worst) a drop-down box with just one entry, but instead it gave me a fixed text field with no box, making me think it was always fixed.
