instead of requiring me to change this after I filed the bug, I should be able to choose it when filing; especially as there is already a list for choosing an initial state.

see also bug 35195, which is for reassignments on existing bugs rather than enter bug.

Christian, do you mean when bugs are assigned to you or in every case? If you mean when the bug is assigned to you, then this bug is a dupe of bug 116488. Well... there the reporter asks to change the status to ASSIGNED automatically and the discussion now goes to have it as an option. Maybe we should dupe 116488 instead.

hmm, well I was mainly thinking of the case where assignee = me, but wouldn't it be easiest to just add a third entry to that list? (UNCO, NEW, ASSI)

Comment on attachment 228088 [details] [diff] [review] patch, v1 It's kind of inconsistent to fix some "bad" values to the right ones, and in other cases to reject the status validation as incorrect. But again, probably we can end up here only if the user hacked the HTML POST form in the first place.

(In reply to comment #6) > It's kind of inconsistent to fix some "bad" values to the right ones, and in > other cases to reject the status validation as incorrect. It rejects *invalid* statuses (such as FOO), but replaces valid statuses which you cannot use because you haven't enough privs by the correct one. This is not inconsistency. It behaves as if post_bug.cgi was simply ignoring the given status for users with no privs (this is exactly what it does, btw).

Hmm, seems like there ought to be a better way to do this, but I sure can't think of one. :)
