2007-07-18 06:19:07 Matthew Paul Thomas description When a bug is accidentally reported on a product rather than a distribution package, or vice versa, it should be possible to retarget the errant "Affects" line to the appropriate software. Currently you can retarget a bug from one product to another, and from one distribution package to another. But you can't retarget it from a product to a distribution, or a distribution to a product. (The next best thing is to mark the original target as "Rejected", which is cluttersome and a little misleading.) It may make sense to fix this bug at the same time as bug 50894 and bug 59389. This is the retargeting equivalent of bug 1334.

This is the retargeting equivalent of bug 1334. 1. Report a bug on the hundredpapercuts project. 2. Try to refile it from the hundredpapercuts project to the Ubuntu project. What should happen: The bug report is refiled. What actually happens: Launchpad returns an error. It says "There are two errors in the data you entered", which is false, and "Enter a project name", when you already have. The current workaround is to mark the original target as "Invalid", which is cluttersome and a little misleading. It also results in unwanted bug mail for the subscribers to the original project.

This is the retargeting equivalent of bug 1334.
