Only the owner or submitter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user, may make that change to the op_sys field. Old value: New value: All so i see this fairly often and it reallys pisses me off cause i cant put my 2 cents in on the bug i dont know bugzilla so i dont know how you can fix it, but please do :) (or give me some suppa powers to fix it ... we all know *thats* best)
Just ignore the operating system field... it's only 1 OS here....
heh, i would if i could the problem is that a null value does not exist in the drop down list, so when IE/lynx load the pages, it selects the first value in the drop down list (which isnt null). so when i submit the form, it submits a new value for the drop down list, resulting in that error i know i could script it myself to post the form with only the fields i want to change, but the thing is, i dont want to, and the common user may not be able to do it
if you do a query and look for bugs using the boolean chart, you can find the bugs that i refer to problem when os_sys field is invalid: query for OS/Version is not equal to any of {Linux,All} you should get bugs 1991,2365,2552,2609,2918,3419,3997,4805,4928,5194,5240,5248,5894 problem when rep_platform field is invalid: query for Platform is not equal to any of {All,PC,PPC,Sparc,Sparc64} 1343,2436,3334,3335,3413,3514,3561,3831,4145,4235,4791,4868,5630,5786,5835,5887, 5888,5894,5898 i didnt test all of the bugs to confirm each has the problem, but i test 4/5 and each did have the issue where i couldnt post because i didnt have enough power to change the fields op_sys or rep_platform i think this has to do with the fact that on the NEW BUG page both the op_sys field and the rep_platform field get auto set by some browsers (or does it get set by a script in the page?) .... i know IE + win2000 sets op_sys to Win2000, and Linux+Lynx sets op_sys to Other and rep_platform to Other ... the problem with that is the VIEW BUG page does not provide these other choices, so when some other user submits the form, they send the first value in the html select list, resulting in the error
as a heads up, i was going to 'fix' some of these bugs so that other people could post to them ... by fix i mean set the os_sys field or the rep_platform field to 'All'

Hmmm...this is kabau testing with another account without editbugs privs.
whats up ?
When is this going to be resolved? Is it so hard that someone with correct priveledges edit all false entries?
i am editing the bugs :P ive fixed many, and i check for new ones multiple times every day ive just left a few for the person who is supposed to fix this :P
*** Bug 8777 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
maybe bugzilla 2.16 fix this ?
2.17 is out now
Is this issue resolved now? I see that there is an "All" entry in both Platform and OS. This should fix the problem. Whats up with this? //ZhEN
Well, I am not sure that there is an easy solution to this. Short of giving a normal user full power to edit any aspect of a bug, there is nothing that I can do. Maybe the upgrade will fix this... Until then, this bug will have to sleep. //ZhEN
i was thinking of something along the lines of modifying the script that submits new bugs ... it would check the value of these 2 fields and if they werent right, just set them to 'All'
Well, I am testing this with bugzilla 2.17.2, which should roll as soon as I have the server space. I think that this is resolved in that version; there is a null value selected on page load, and bugzilla will throw an error if there is no legal op_sys entry, therefore forcing the user to enter a correct op_sys category. Cheers, //zhen
