Export workboard columns for reporting
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

We're using Phabricator to track releases and issues found with them. In our workflow a bug report may be connected with multiple releases (all the releases the problem was seen). Releases are created as Projects with stages of the release as workboard columns. Example columns are: Backlog, Ongoing, Fixed in RC1, Fixed in RC2 etc. Note that the state of the bug isn't much used as it may be different for each release: fixed in 2.0, but ongoing in 1.7 for example.

What I'd like to do is to be able to export contents of one column if a workboard for reporting. This is used for creating release notes, internal reporting, writing list of known bugs etc.

I tried using Excel export of the search result but it doesn't contain the column in its results.

Or maybe a better question is: @mrybczyn, are you asking on behalf of KDE, or a different project?

@mrybczyn Is someone who is a member of the KDE Community yes, but I don't know if this task relates to stuff they do in KDE though. Based on their activity page on Phabricator i'm inclined to think this isn't KDE related but I could be wrong.

This is for another project. If it were for KDE, I would have asked @bcooksley first.

Here's a (not so great) workaround:

  • Select "Batch Edit Tasks..." for the column you want.
  • Replace batch/?board=X&batch in the URI with ?ids=. For example, this:
http://local.phacility.com/maniphest/batch/?board=117&batch=257%2C352%2C351%2C332%2C250%2C265

...becomes:

http://local.phacility.com/maniphest/?ids=257%2C352%2C351%2C332%2C250%2C265
  • Use Select All + Export to Excel to export.

I'm going to merge this into T5024 which should streamline this process.
