Hi, this module sounds promising, but could you add some screenshots and the live cycles please?

Hi @Hipska,

Unfortunately, this module isn't finished yet, and I'm not sure whether I'll ever have the time to finish it; I got ahead of myself and tried to include too many generic features, such as "fulltext duplicate finder."
I might consider working on this issue tracker again if I ever get the chance to put this functionality in a separate module, as the datamodel is pretty complete and functional.

It is based on the BugZilla bug model and lifecycle (https://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.4/en/html/lifecycle.html) and appears in iTop as follows:

Hi @AHalfWildSheep ,

I'm looking into this module as we have a similar need. Looks great, I just have some remarks on the lifecycle:

• We might want to transition an unconfirmed bug into a rejected one (if not confirmed), so either a new "rejected" state (preferable) or at least a transition to "closed" state.
• When a bug is resolved (from the developer POV) it might be reopened by the validator, so a new transition from "resolved" to "inprogress" (going to "confirmed" could be misleading as one might think the bug was never worked on)
• A transition from "new" to "confirm" to ease daily operation when bugs are logged by developers, avoiding the extra transition operation

I know all of this can be modified through my own customization, but I think it would benefit this module. :)

PS: I can make a PR for the lifecycle once propositions are accepted

Hi @Molkobain,

You're right, I missed some transitions from the target lifecycle.
I might have some free time soon to do some tweaks to this extension, I'll keep you posted.

Great!

Hi @Molkobain,
I started reworking the lifecycle as you suggested, and I ended up doing a complete rework of the datamodel. It's probably not compatible with old data as all the classes were changed, but I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out.

If you end up using this module, feel free to send me your feedback or submit a pull request

@Hipska, I added a bit of documentation and updated the lifecycle preview in case you're still interested

@AHalfWildSheep Great news, thanks for the hard work!
I'm going to test it this week end and will send some feedback :)

Take care
