View Full Version : bug reference doesn't show up in "edit".

I just noticed that when a post has been sent, it is not possible anymore to add a bug reference to launchpad via the edit function. It is necessary to make a new post.

I think it would be useful to have that possibility enabled, so that a link to the bug could be added in the OP, rather than on page #xx of a long thread.

Also, I noticed that editing a post with an existing reference shows that the entry for the bug is just plain text in the body of the post itself... I wonder if this is because there is no "table" for the bug links in the DB (this makes difficult to integrate launchpad bugs and forums for the future) or if it is because the text is parsed only once with the DB entry (this will generate mistakes in a possible integration process).

In the future the bug report function will be available when doing edits as well have its own field. For now its only available on new posts and post replies and is included within the message.
