Ticket Create Buttons plugin
Description
The TicketCreateButtons plugin creates configurable buttons in the ticket header to create related tickets. The new ticket can inherit field values from the current ticket.
Usage

[ticket-create-buttons] <field-name>.<argument> = value
- Where
<field-name>.<argument> = value
can be one or many from below:- R - Required
- 0 - Optional
- Where
Argument | Version | R / O | Description | Default |
tag | >= 0.1 | R | Argument to genshi.filters.Transfomer used to find the ticket form element to which the button will be prepended. Typically a custom field name.* Example: blockedby.tag = .//td[@headers="h_blockedby"] | None |
label | >= 0.1 | O | The label for the button. * Example: blockedby.label = Create | <field-name>

title | >= 0.1 | O | The HTML title element used as a tool tip for the button. * Example: blockedby.title = Create predecessor | None |
inherit | >= 0.1 | O | Comma-separated list of fields whose values should be inherited from the current ticket. If present but blank, no fields are inherited. * Example: blockedby.inherit = type, milestone | No fields are inherited. |
link | >= 0.1 | O | Comma-separated list of newfield:currentfield pairs used to link the two tickets. The link field override inherit field.* Example: blockedby.link = blocking:id sets the new ticket's blockedby field to the current tickets id. | None |
set | >= 0.1 | O | Comma-separated list of field:value pairs for setting values in the new ticket. The set field override inherit and link fields. * Example: set = keywords:Foo sets the new ticket's keywords field to Foo. | None |
- Example - Using this plugin with MasterTicketsPlugin, the following configuration creates buttons to create predecessor and successor tickets:
[ticket-create-buttons] blockedby.tag = .//td[@headers="h_blockedby"] blockedby.label = Create blockedby.title = Create a new predecessor blockedby.inherit = type, milestone blockedby.link = blocking:id blocking.tag = .//td[@headers="h_blocking"] blocking.label = Create blocking.title = Create a new successor blocking.inherit = type, milestone blocking.link = blockedby:id
- Example - When used with SubticketsPlugin, new siblings can be created with:
[ticket-create-buttons] parents.tag = .//td[@headers="h_parents"] parents.label = Create parents.title = Create a new sibling parents.inherit = type, milestone, parents
