Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-10-12 14:41:47 UTC
If user1 submits after user2 , and user2 changed the summary or other vars and user1 didn't (ie, user1 only added a comment), then when giving the go-ahead-to-commit user1's summary (and other vars, I assume) will overwrite and revert user2's settings.

Would it be possible to have submissions to a bug track fields that have been modified, so that if/when conflict resolution occurs and the user wants to commit their change, only the modifications a user did would be submitted?  

Alternatively, and this would be the ultimate of customization, would it be possible to either:

 A-show each differing field between the two submissions, and have a checkbox (defaulted to checked) so that the overwrite of each field could be disabled if desired?  or:

 B-right after the conflict message, the second poster automatically gets back the bug submission form, with his previously-submitted values filled in (ready to submit again) on top of whatever the new defaults are?

(It should be possible to do this through tracking or separately storing the default/original values on submit, if they aren't already)

Reproducible: Always

This sounds like a request for upstream to implement.
