Question

We’ve created a spreadsheet table where we are trying to have a cell contain status for the bug by utilizing the BugzillaQueryPlugin. However if you put the query in a table cell, it messes up your table – especially in an EDITTABLE. Appears there is an automatic carriage return in the query - it also appears that the cell contains the executable query code (URL to Bugzilla), not the contents returned.

Is there any way to utilize the Bugzilla Queries in a Spreadsheet table?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

TWiki tables required table cell content to be on one line only. It breaks if an expanded variable introduces newlines. That is, the BugzillaQueryPlugin would need to be enhanced to not introduce newlines.

The second issue is with the EditTablePlugin versions prior to Mar 2008. They had a known issue where variables in table cells got expanded when saving a table. Upgrade the plugin if you have an older version.
