[jira] Created: (CONTINUUM-1847) Allow a build definition to actually be a template

Allow a build definition to actually be a template
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CONTINUUM-1847
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1847
             Project: Continuum
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Web - UI
    Affects Versions: 1.1
            Reporter: Julien S


Currently, only when creating a new project can one use a default template. It is not possible to add a default template when changing the default build definition or when adding a new definition. Also, it seems that a change to a build template will only affect newly created projects, not projects previously created with the template.

A very nice and time-saving feature would be the ability to add a build definition which IS the build template (e.g. non-editable) and not a create time copy of the said template (as I understand it currently is). By doing this, a change in the template would be reflected in all the projects using it.

Fair enough. I did not mean to be critical of the vocabulary. Nevertheless, I believe that "global build definitions" would be a great addition. Should I fill a new JIRA for this ? Such as "Implement global build definitions" ? Or keep this one ?

I think template is the correct name for what we have.  A template is something that you use to create a new thing.

I would call what you are describing a "global build definition" -- one definition, and a change in it affects anything currently using it.

Wendy Smoak commented on CONTINUUM-1847:
----------------------------------------

The more I work with build definitions and templates, the more I suspect that the ones added when a group is created *do* behave as global build definitions, so that changing the definition changes it for all the projects using it.

Needs more testing, or even better, someone who knows the code to comment.

Either way, we need to make it possible to choose an existing build definition when you add one to a project, as well as make this configurable, so templates can either add the shared build def, or a copy that belongs only to the newly created project group.
