Issues

[Mark Kessler <ke...@gmail.com>]

Do we ever get feature requests that have a high criticality but people
don't implement it or don't agree with it?  I mean what happens to the
issues.  Do we just keep the in Jira for life or is there an action that
should be performed?

I was looking at an issue[1] and was thinking it sounded like like personal
preference? The issue is asking for selectable text by default in a
DataGrid.  I think the current DefaultGridItemRenderer inherits
UIFTETextField... which is lighter weight and a smidge faster than a label,
or an editable text.

I just bring this up because it made me wonder that this issue is marked
Major , 1 watcher, no votes.  Would we just downgrade the criticality from
Major because it's not a bug and maybe preferential?

Just FYI, Apache JIRA has a default priority of 'Major' when a new
issue/bug is created.  It kind of makes sense because JIRA is being safe by
selecting the middle value from the list:
Blocker > Critical > Major > Minor > Trivial

It is easy to not pause and give the priority a thought when filing a bug.

Was just curious since it was swept up in the search of Critical and major
issues :P

Hi,

It's marked as a feature request not a bug so I'd leave as major but no objections if it was moved to minor.

Thanks,
Justin

Yup, you are not obligated to implement something if you don't think it is
for the greater good of the project and community.

IMO, keep it for life because you never know when a dozen folks will start
complaining about something.  Voting should remain open in most cases.

IMO, yes.  Many bugs are critical to the bug filer, but in the larger sense,
the severity of the issue should have to do with the number of people you
think it affects, with the potential exception that any security related
issue is critical.

The bug filer can always start a discussion to try to get the severity
upgraded.
