Summary	0004019: Ability to update reporter increases update page size dramatically
Description	On this installation, the feature of allow updating the "Reporter" of the issues makes the page size 175K rather than 20K. This is due to the huge amount of reporters in the system. I suggest that we disable this feature by default in the case where there is more than a configurable number of reporters (0 - unlimited, otherwise as specified). If the number of reporters is greater than this threshold, then the current reporter should be displayed with an edit link next to it (in the update page), clicking the edit link, will trigger the re-loading of the update page, with the reporter field editable. This will be achieved by a flag like "edit_reporter" which is defaulted to auto, but can be set to 1 via the user. Ideas are welcome!

vboctor 2006-05-16 20:01 manager ~0012852	The editing of reporter is now done via Ajax. By default when the update page is opened, the current reporter name is shown + an [Edit]. If the user requires to change the reporter, then click Edit and the combo-box will appear. Changes to the reporter will be applied once the standard Update button is clicked. The old behaviour occurs if use_javascript is set to OFF.
