Description of problem:
From bug 1931587 comment 30 :

> I think the new form is a big improvement for people who've never interacted with Bugzilla before, but it's quite cumbersome for experienced users. I strongly prefer the old bug entry form. IMO, there should be a link on the bug entry to toggle back to the old view. It also should be possible to disable it on an account wide basis in my user preferences.

Please allow people to switch back to the full form when desired, thank you.

Thanks for opening this, Kamil!

Comment 2 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2023-06-06 05:59:01 UTC
Oh ... here is a dirty hack, if you add an empty format parameter you get the standard form

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&format=

Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2023-06-06 07:55:59 UTC
Great, that seems to work. Do you plan to add a button to the guided form?

Probably a link.

On QA server.

1. Start bug creation as per normal. https://$server/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=distribution

There is a new paragraph in the top section:

"If you wish to enter a bug using the unguided form you may do so here."

Where "here" is a link to the unguided entry form. The link contains all parameters supplied in the original URL.

This fix has been deployed to stage Bugzilla for a short public testing phase.

Seems to work fine. But when I go from the default Fedora-branded form (in the Fedora product) to the unguided form and then back to the guided form, through hyperlinks, the guided form then looks a bit different (no branding, different style). Not sure whether that's expected.

Bah, that happens regardless of how you got to the unguided entry. I opened Bug 2219202 for that.

Comment 9 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2023-07-03 00:17:37 UTC
This change is now live. If there are any issues, do not reopen this bug. Instead, you should create a new bug and reference this bug.
