[overlord-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RTGOV-645) Resubmitted message should identify source situation to enable further failures (situations) to be linked back

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RTGOV-645?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Gary Brown commented on RTGOV-645: ---------------------------------- *Requirements currently not being considered:* * Represent situations in a tree representing the resubmission failures {quote} This is not being considered, as it assume resubmission failures are the primary focus of the visual representation - whereas in most situations resubmission will not be used. Therefore instead, the situation list will remain and a means of navigating the tree will be provided on the situation details page. {quote} * The root node shows the number of resubmits so far (this is equal to the number of child nodes). {quote} Not sure of the benefit of this? One resubmission may result in two or more situations being created - counting nodes would then return an incorrect value. Resubmission count would be more to do with the depth of the tree. {quote} *Requirements and Questions:* * Only the newest situation in a tree is allowed to be resubmitted. {quote} Does this mean that situations that don't have any linked (child) situations can be resubmitted any number of times, or should a situation only be able to be resubmitted once, regardless of success or fail? {quote} * Filter criteria in the Situations tab apply only to root situations. If a child situation would match the criteria, but the root situation does not, the whole tree is hidden. This means that a tree is never shown partially. Either the tree is fully shown or hidden. [This is a simplification, even though it may leave the user wanting more] {quote} As discussed above, the use of a tree is not appropriate for a majority of rtgov UI usage. Another option may be to only show (and filter) the situations that are effectively leaf nodes? If needing to access the intermediate or root nodes, then these could be done through navigating from the leaf nodes? {quote} * Applying a bulk action on the Situations tab: a) "Retry" and "Export" are applied only to the newest situation of the selected trees. {quote} This would fit with the suggested approach above of only listing 'leaf' situations. {quote} b) "Delete" is applied to all situations of the selected trees. Thus, it deletes the whole tree. * The "assignedTo" and "resolutionState" properties apply to the whole tree. Whenever these properties are changed for a situation, the change is propagated to all situations in the tree. When a child situation is created, these properties shall be set according to the root situation's properties. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.11#6341)
