The well-named application that lets you "flag" stuff for later.

Thanks for the report. Fixed in D20642, which may or may not land today because of the holiday.

Although I'm not entirely confident that 100% of objects which should implement ExtendedPolicyInterface actually do today, I think we've gotten pretty much all of them. This approach also seems stable.

I'm unable to close this, but I believe this to be resolved (or at least my specific repro of flags via herald no longer applies I believe).

Started building and insanely easier as an application. "Favorites" unless you have a better suggestion. Seems more flexible.

Yep, that looks good to me.
Just for my own understanding:

I'm not actually sure which will end up being easier, I think they have like 95% of the same problems. Quick Create probably is a bit easier, though.
I'm for whichever is easiest, since the other will fall in line quickly after.
You were thinking about doing this one first, then Home later, right?
@epriestley I feel like we had this conversation on how to implement this somewhere... (on a diff)? Not sure where these extend from, just move it into Personal/Global settings?

Touché!

It was a bug that it disappeared.
Ah. Looks like I just needed to upgrade as this change was made in the last month or so (I last upgraded late Feb). Didn't see this change mentioned in the changelog, or a task for it, so assumed it still wasn't possible. What you have implemented is perfect for us. Sorry for the noise.
Projects are flaggable under the manage page. We have no plans to make Workboards flaggable.

Flags currently has this unwieldy dropdown, which will only get worse over time as more applications and object types are added. It would be better to use a typeahead, like the one in global search:
I removed this because the implementation was pretty hacky (saved the rule as a text string, wasn't translatable).
good enough for me
@chad, not sure if you have design thoughts here, but I think this is broadly reasonable.
I think it's too hard for us to guess user intent here. There's nothing a user can do which strongly signals that their flag is obsolete, since flags mean a lot of different things (in your use case, it sounds like there's no single action you take which clears the flag, just "the next action after you added the flag"). Other users (myself included) use flags for different reasons, including as long-term bookmarks. Guessing intent is also difficult because you can flag many kinds of objects, not just tasks, and we'd strongly prefer features which can be implemented globally.
