set_field_to_value

[anonymous]

The workflow in our organization knows a 'review_by_architect' state and a 'submit_to_testing'. With both actions leading to these states, our developers set the next owner manually for each ticket. Because both architect and testing each have a single, fixed account, we would greatly benefit from this action

set_field_to_value (TicketWorkflowOpFieldValue) 

    Sets a ticket field to a value specified in trac.ini

    <someaction>.operations = set_field_to_value
    <someaction>.set_field_to_value.field = mycustomfield
    <someaction>.set_field_to_value.value = peter

I've come up with an implementation that I would like to share. I have added this code to advancedworkflow/controller.py: t9502.py​.

#6921 was closed as a duplicate. The ticket has requested the ability to move a custom ticket field to the workflow section so the user would be forced to fill in a value.

[Ryan J Ollos]

What is needed is the ability to add, delete, append to or remove from a field. The following tickets requested those operations for various fields:

• #5552 requested the ability to append to the CC field
• #7771 requested the ability to add keywords (provides a patch​)
• #9251 requested the ability to delete a field (provides a patch​).
• #9951 requested the ability to set the Type field (provides a patch​).
• #10457 requested the ability to set the Version and Milestone fields.
