Bug 119643 – You tried to change the OS field

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure

[Description Maxim Reznik 2006-01-19 23:00:22 UTC]

I try add comment to bug 94075, but get error:
"You tried to change the OS field from other to All, but only the assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may change that field."

But I didn't change the field. When I enter the bug OS field is "All".
I just type "Additional Comments" and press "Commit"

Changing OS to "Other" doesn't help either.

I dont see any activity on that bug other than the committer. To edit the bug, you would need to add yourself onto the CC of the bug, so you can take part in its discussion.

I didn't know this. Thank you.

But I can't add myself to CC. When I try I get the same error "You tried to..."

I did, but result is the same.
"You tried to change the OS field from other to All, but only the assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may change that field."

Can you add yourself?

May it be because current value for OS is "other" (in lower case), but
no such value in choses for this field? Only ("All", "Other", "Linux"...
values started with upper letter.

I'm getting the same problem for Bug #94955 .

In this case, it says:

You tried to change the OS field from other to Other, but only the assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may change that field.

Note the caps change: 'other' to 'Other'.

Clearly, this is pure crap. And this bug does have activity; it's on the list for the next bugday, so it's not something to just be dropped. :)

[Comment 6 Christian Skarby 2006-02-07 01:21:29 UTC]

The exact same error as in comment #5 on Bug #94579 blocks for update of the bug. I would say that this bug blocks 94579 (but I am not allowed to make such a desicion;))

[Comment 7 Christian Skarby 2006-02-07 01:31:41 UTC]

Err.. too early in the morning. My comment #6 is valid, but it is ambiguous. Comment #5 refers to comment #5 in this bug. And the error stated in comment #5 is the same error as I have discovered when I tried to update Bug 94579
