Only show valid milestones/components in query form

[endquote]

In the custom query form, if you set a "milestone is" query, that dropdown has every milestone from every project. I wish it only showed open projects. Even better, if the query is filtering on a project, it should only show milestones for that project.

The components list has the same problem.

Other filters, such as priority, etc, would as well. However at least for me, those are the same for every project.

Yes, that's a weakness of this plugin that it has no implementation regarding the query system. I need to find out first where I can hook into things there to filter the lists with the project conditions.

Just to throw in my 2 cents.

If you filtered any of the drop down lists by open projects it would be impossible/difficult to search for old tickets belonging to projects already closed. Not sure if it's wise to hide stuff from the general query page.

OTOH filtering the e.g. milestone list by an already selected project may be useful but difficult. The order in which you select milestone/project/version would sometimes hide information sometimes not probably confusing the user greatly.

I think that first step towards general implementation on "show milestones only from within selected project" has to be query results limiting based on projects user has access to. For example, even though user is limited to one project, using some of the "View tickets" queries one can see tickets (or at least summaries) related to the projects he has no access to.

Partial workaround is to use PrivateTicketsPlugin, but even with this plugin milestone titles are show.

The other part of workaround is to disable REPORT_VIEW and enable ROADMAP_VIEW + MILESTONE_VIEW.

Well, this works only partially - once Milestones from the project are shown and users selects link to query, query with all milestones from all projects appears again.

In other words, it is not possible to get list of tickets in projects user has access to, without breaking basic separation between projects.

Is my understanding correct to let the user select even 'forbidden' milestones and projects but hide the results?

No, user should not be able to see anything from the project he has no access to.

It would be a huge time saving if this were fixed, as we have a list of several hundred milestones, and it takes far too long to find them.

At least this basic filtering of results is now implemented (changeset [17810]) with a new permission system (trunk resp. V0.7.3 and later).

Users can only see tickets of those projects they are a member of (or projects without restrictions).

In 17826:

SimpleMultiProjectPlugin: added filtering by permission on the query page for components and version.

Note that there is no filtering by project in place.

FYI since r17813 only milestones of projects user has permission to access are shown in the drop down list.
