If we turned all the multi select drop downs into checkboxes, the page would be too long. -- simon Is another way to solve the problem and give a fair hearing to this issue? (In reply to comment #2) > Is another way to solve the problem and give a fair hearing to this issue? There is a change in an upcoming Bugzilla release to make it like the partner field (on page load it will contain a list of current values, and you click on edit to bring the drop down). This will highlight if any current values exist. I cannot think of any other viable alternative. Having checkboxes in a drop down (for example http://code.google.com/p/dropdown-check-list/ ) isn't a good alternative IMO. Hi John, can you explain to those of us not in the know what the impact is if a layered product is lost? (In reply to comment #4) > Hi John, can you explain to those of us not in the know what the impact is > if a layered product is lost? Data loss. We loose meta data for other products that depend on a bug fix.

This is helpful information that would have been nice to have when this bug was first summarily closed. Thank you. |
