    I have a problem with the terminology used in Trac and I wonder how to

    In Trac out of the box ...

    "Owner" is the developer to whom the ticket is assigned for work.

    In my project ...

    "Owner" is the person who wants the ticket payload - the fixed bug or
    the enhancement - IOW the person who accepts or rejects the payload.

    So the fix seems to me to change the Trac "Owner" to "Developer"
    (presumably in the template) and add another field/column for my
    project's "owner", perhaps "customer".

    However, it looks like a major adjustment and maybe going against the
    flow because I need to use the workflow plugin

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks

You can use an ITemplateStreamFilter to replace "Owner" with
"Developer". See example here:

Had a quick look and that seems a good start. I'm happy to change Trac's owner into "Developer" because that doesn't change any meaning as far as I'm concerned.

I also looked at those two tickets you mentioned and I reckon I should wait and see.

I'm now thinking the Cc: field might be what I'm looking for anyway. If the dev adds a comment or resolves the ticket as "testing" (as per the workflow) my owners for that ticket in Cc: will get an email anyway. For example, if the dev has a question, it can be added as a comment and they will all be able to respond. The dev might have to give out an email address to respond to though.

I would love to keep it simple.

Thanks

Mike


In the future we might have am ICustomFieldTypeProvider interface that
would allow new custom field types to be defined. That would allow for a
"restricted list of valid users" type, which could be a select list
containing the list of users with valid sessions (it would be like the
owner field in the ticket workflow when [ticket] restrict_owner = true).
That might help with defining your "customer" ticket field.

For now, you may be right that using the workflow is the better way to
accomplish this. A related enhancement might support assigning a value
to a field in a workflow action (e.g. your "customer" field).
