Improve prefilling for "Create Task" form
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Maniphest should allow you to reasonably prefill the "create" form with GET parameters. Some fields already work but others don't. In particular:

  • All fields should support this.
  • Fields with tokenizer values should accept readable values rather than PHIDs ("assigned=epriestley", not "assigned=PHID-XXXX-YYYY").
  • Custom fields should have a hook for reading values from GET.
  • There should be documentation about this, and possibly some sort of automatic UI integration (e.g., a view where you see what parameter to use for each field).

The "?template=x" parameter can also be used to do most of this, and might be a better starting point.

I'm going to merge this into T9132, which will provide abstract prefilling of all fields in all forms.

Is it known/expected that if a project has a "/" in the name (like "team/oncall") then the prefilling does not work?

epriestley added a comment.Oct 9 2015, 5:57 PM

@jshirley, the project detail page should have a "Hashtags" field which lists the tags that will work. "/" should never be part of a hashtag. The value that will work is probably something like "team_oncall" by default, but you can customize that by adding or changing the hashtag.

(T7341 and T7305 discuss a couple of issues here but they're particular to colons and spaces, respectively.)
