Обсуждение: CF app feature request
Yesterday Fabien and I submitted the same item to the Commitfest (1859 and 1860). Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way for one of these to be withdrawn. "Rejected" and "Returned with Feedback" seem wrong. Ideally, there would be a way for someone who submits an item in error to withdraw it, at which point it should be as if it had never been submitted. Meanwhile, what's the advice about how to deal with these? cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan https://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

Are you thinking basically another status that's "Withdrawn", but keeping it, or actually removing the records completely?

A separate "Withdrawn" status seems like it'd cover more cases than
a "make like it never happened" action.

"Withdrawn" sounds like a good term for that, we surely don't want to simply remove the thing entirely either. What's actually the issue with not tracking such things in the stats? -- Michael

I don't have a strong opinion. It seemed to me that where something had been created in error it would be best simply to be able to undo that. But I can see arguments against. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan https://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

Because the same patch submission is already counted? It is a rare occurence, so just a "Withdrawn" state could be enough, and slightly false CF stats are no big deal. -- Fabien.

Good. Please proceed! So the solution is to contact an admin (no clear cue about who is an admin, though) to remove the entry. -- Fabien.

Just to make sure, if a duplicated entry will be removed, the patch itself will stay or not? I'm asking, because both entries have the same patch referenced, and the admin form says that one of the related items, that would be removed is the patch item.

If you remove only one entry, its references will be removed but the second one will remain. If you want me to proceed, I can do so. I have done that in the past, and it is not the first time someone registers a duplicated entry in the CF app. -- Michael

If you remove only one entry, its references will be removed but the
second one will remain. If you want me to proceed, I can do so. I have

duplicated entry in the CF app.
I'm trying to figure out where this thread left off :) My understanding of the consensus is we don't actually want/need a change in the app, but are instead OK with the admin just handling it a somewhat ugly way in the few cases where it's necessary?
Or is the consensus to add a "Withdrawn" status, just to solve a slightly different problem from the one that started this thread?

The original case (just a mistakenly duplicated entry) seems OK to solve
with a quick DELETE on the underlying table.

I think there is a use-case for "Withdrawn", it's more polite than
"Rejected" ;-). But it's not a very high-priority request.

Here's a slightly late response to that winking :P
They *are* sorted. By lastname. Should I take all this winking to mean that people would prefer them being sorted by firstname? :)

Status "Withdrawn" has now been added.

That's not at all obvious ... the fact that there's Scherbaum as the first entry, and Wang at the fifth position, threw me off. I can find entries easily enough knowing this. But I think it would make more sense to order by the complete string that makes up the name. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

Oh, wow. That's not at all obvious ... the fact that there's Scherbaum
as the first entry, and Wang at the fifth position, threw me off.
Oh, there isn't, there's "ads Scherbaum" as his last name. I'm pretty sure he does that just to mess with people. And for the second one, it's Alexandra... But yes, I agree it's confusing, especially when you start mixing in cultures that may not have firstname/lastname working in the way that we do in the western world.
I can find entries easily enough knowing this. But I think it would
make more sense to order by the complete string that makes up the name.
Ok, I've pushed a change to do first_name sorting instead. Let's see if that causes less or more confusion :) But it will at least match the "full string sorting".
