Discussion:

Moved this to be a PatchProposal... hope its simplicity allow me not to do the diff -u thing

The above "diff" is against the Cairo: TWikiRelease02Sep2004

-- NielsKoldso - 28 Dec 2004

I would like to propose this for Dakar.

Niels, I think you can already do this, without needing any extra parameters - see http://develop.twiki.org/~develop/cgi-bin/view/Bugs/AllOutStandingItems for an example of how we do this to create new Bug entries.

-- SvenDowideit - 03 Sep 2005

Hi Sven, I don't see any forms for creating new bug entries when I follow your link, could you elaborate?

-- NielsKoldso - 13 Sep 2005

"Create New Item" is in the WebLeftBar; here's a direct link: http://develop.twiki.org/~develop/cgi-bin/edit/Bugs/ItemXXXXXXXXXX?templatetopic=Bugs.HideTextarea&formtemplate=Bugs.ItemTemplate&action=form

-- WillNorris - 13 Sep 2005

Hey - I'm not the only one who finds "Create New Item" to be a non-inuitive equivalent for "Create New Bug Report" or "Create New Issue Report". I added a comment to this effect on the intro page http://develop.twiki.org/~twiki4/cgi-bin/view/Bugs

I changed the link in the sidebar of the Bugs:WebHome web to "Create bug report" to make more obvious. I also added some help text to the bugs home.
