Summary0036970: The forgotten "Due Date" field
Description

While debugging the DateTimePicker, I discovered some existing pages intended for entering the “Due Date” field value, but for some reason they weren't being used.

For example:

  • There is an UP_DUE_DATE command to be executed in bug_actiongroup.php.
  • There is a separate page for confirming changes to the "Due Date" in bug_actiongroup_page.php (via the UP_DUE_DATE command).
  • There is a due_date_update_threshold permission.

However:

  • There is no corresponding button in bug_view_inc.php. In other words, the UP_DUE_DATE command cannot be sent.
  • There is no support in IssueViewPageCommand.php (via a flag definition, e.g., $t_flags['can_due_date']).

It feels, as if the code was simply left unfinished.

TagsNo tags attached.

The action is available from the group update selection list, provided you have due_date_update_threshold.

It works correctly, as far as I can tell...

Thanks for the info—I missed that this works via a group operation, and I thought I was updating “dead code” while working on the DateTimePicker PR.

So, should we add an “Update Due Date” button directly to the “view.php” page? Or maybe add to it a selection list element purely for ease of use, considering that there might be a user without general permissions but with the right to move dates?

I don't think that's necessary, when a single Issue's due date needs to be updated, you can just edit the Issue and change it

there might be a user without general permissions but with the right to move dates?

You mean in the case of a user that has due_date_update_threshold but not update_bug_threshold ? Technically possible but kind of weird scenario.

add to it a selection list element purely for ease of use

Not sure what you mean
