[jira] Commented: (MCHANGES-202) Enhance action-tag with a type attribute

["Dennis Lundberg (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGES-202?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=252501#action_252501 ] 

Dennis Lundberg commented on MCHANGES-202:
------------------------------------------

So the problem is really that the action.type attribute is different from issue.type (as used in JIRA).

I feel that best thing would be to change the set of values allowed in action.type. It should be more like the issue type that is used in current issue management systems. The problem is figuring out a reasonable set of values. A standard JIRA installation has these values: Bug, New Feature, Task and Improvement. My mapping of those values to the ones used in action.type would look like this:

{noformat}
add    <--> New Feature
update <--> Improvement
fix    <--> Bug
remove <--> Task
{noformat}


That is something that we will have to face moving forward when this plugin when we start to add more issue management systems.

Another question is whether to allow the user to add custom values for action.type. The current XML schema allows it, but you don't get any icons for those types, and because we currently don't print out the actual text for the type - that would be a problem.
