Task List Plugin

Description

Create a task list based on existing ticket. Additionally provide a quick method for entering new tickets.

The task list plugin requires a custom ticket field to be configured. By default, this field is a text field named action_item. If a value is present in the action_item field, then that value is used in the task list display. This provides for a quick way to see what the next step is for a ticket.

Additionally, the task list plugin creates a simple method for creating tickets. By default, only the summary and priority are entered. This relieves the tedium of filling out the new ticket form. This is especially useful for tracking simple tasks where capturing the request or issue is paramount. The details can then later be added via the normal ticket interface.

The task list interface is based on the query interface and should thus be familiar to Trac users. It also allows for each individual to customize their task list with the columns they desire.
