5.7.174. Bugzilla::Extension::ListOfBugs¶
5.7.174.1. NAME¶
Bugzilla::Extension::ListOfBugs
5.7.174.2. DESCRIPTION¶
A list of bugs is a static list of bug numbers that can be given out to users. Unlike a bug search, the contents of a list can only be changed manually. Also unlike a search, the URL will always be compact.
This provides a convenient way to give someone a list of bugs. Normally the only way to do this is to craft a custom search that lists bug numbers. This is clumsy and can quickly run into URL length issues.
Creation¶
A list can be created by running a normal bug search and then saving the results by clicking the ‘Save as List’ button. Alternatively a list can be created by using the RPC interface. This requires that individual bug numbers be given. See the RPC documentation for instructions on how to do this. “create” in Bugzilla::Extension::ListOfBugs::WebService
Updating¶
You can update a list of bugs by running a new search and saving the list with the same name as the old search. This will overwrite the old list with the new list of bugs.
Alternatively the list can be manipulated via the RPC interface where bugs can be added or removed. See the RPC documentation “update” in Bugzilla::Extension::ListOfBugs::WebService
Access & Rights¶
- View Access
A list can be made private by restricting view access to a list of groups. Only members of the listed groups will be albe to use the bug list.
If you select no groups then the list will be publicly visible.
- Update Access
A list can be updated by either the owner of the list, or a member of a group authorized to update that list.
If no groups are selected, then only the creator of the list may edit it. If groups are selected then any member of the selected groups may update the bug list.
Owned Lists¶
You can find a list of bug lists that you have created in your user preference page.
Searching¶
You can search the list of bugs for a subset of this list by crafting your search terms as normal, and then select the Custom Search option ‘Bug ID’ ‘Is in the list of bugs’ ‘list name’.
If you wish to find bugs that are not it the list, but match your search terms, you can tick the ‘Not’ box for that custom search row.
