Bug ID: 490990
Summary: Add an "All My Bugs" Saved Search to Display All
Reported Bugs Regardless of Status
Classification: Websites
Product: bugs.kde.org
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: templates
Assignee: sysad...@kde.org
Reporter: eamonn...@protonmail.com
CC: she...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
At present, the default links to view reported bugs only display a small subset
of a user's reported bugs. This reduces visibility into a user's reported bugs,
which can be somewhat frustrating for users that want to keep tabs on what
versions their reported bugs are fixed in, or update existing bug reports.
There should be an "All My Bugs" Saved Search that a user can access from the
homepage to display a list of all the bugs they have reported regardless of
status. If possible, this should be sorted by "Changed" time, so that bugs
which require the user's attention can be seen towards the top of the list.
By default, a user can view their bug reports from the "Open Bugs Reported By
Me" link on the homepage, or from the "My Bugs" link. However this only lists
bugs in some statuses, like "Reported", "Confirmed", "Assigned" (and possibly
some others). When a bug is marked as any other status such as "Resolved"
(upstream/downstream), the bug disappears from the list, and a user has no
visibility into the status of their bug. There are emails, and a bug may often
be in a user's history, but it is difficult to access a full list and see the
status of the bugs.
But more problematic is that if a bug is marked as a status that needs the user
to respond (ideally promptly) like "NEEDSINFO", the bug still disappears from
the user's "My Bugs" list and it can be easy to lose track of it. If you report
a lot of bugs it can be difficult to keep track of them and some can slip
through when they disappear.
Whether this new feature should be a link, or a bigger more prominent button,
or something else entirely, is not something I am sure of. But something to
make it easier for users to view all of their reported bugs ever regardless of
status would be very useful imo :-)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to https://bugs.kde.org/
2. There is no easy way to view all reported bugs, just a subset.
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no easy way to view all reported bugs, just a subset. A user has to
manually create this as a Saved Search, and a user may not know how to do that
if they are new to Bugzilla (or even the theming flavour used here).
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a default way to view all reported bugs regardless of their
status.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.10.2 Linux Zen
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'd like to clarify that I'm not advocating to remove or update any *existing*
links. For sure, the current links to only view the bugs in a handful of
statuses are useful for a more "focused" view, but I feel like a wider overview
by default would be helpful for visibility without creating a snowball problem
of creating lots of saved searches by defaut; one new saved search only for
*everything* would complement the existing list without opening the door to go
more granular I think.
