[jira] [Commented] (WHIMSY-247) Persist changed initials for report comments

["Sam Ruby (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-247?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16812879#comment-16812879 ] 

Sam Ruby commented on WHIMSY-247:
---------------------------------

This is going to be a bit of a whack-a-mole.  Your initials are persisted, along with pending comments, etc.  To illustrate, here is a snapshot of your current data:
{noformat}
—
 agenda: board_agenda_2019_04_10.txt
 approved: []
 unapproved: []
 flagged: []
 unflagged: []
 comments: {}
 seen: {}
 userid: wohali
 role: :director
 username: Joan Touzet
 initials: wohali
 firstname: joan{noformat}

What would be helpful to me is if you were to list scenarios in which this persistent data is either ignored or overwritten.  This is likely to be a small number of places, so I'm confident that we can quickly converge on having this fully supported.

> Right now, when adding a comment as a board member in the tool, I can customise my initials when leaving a comment. I like doing this - more people know me as "wohali" than "jt," and when I personally use my initials, I use "jst" not "jt."
> The tool could simply see that the field has changed, and persist that abbreviation for the future when initials are called for. If no customisation has been made, use the person's initials from the current source.
