One more thing. The story doesn't just disappear from the new Sprint, it reappears in the old Sprint.

Removing the s= tag from the story fixed the problem. The story previously had s=2012-10-16 in the whiteboard.

It would be nice if Scrumbugs removed the s= tag for the user in cases like this. The last Sprint that was set should take precedence, whether it was through the s= tag or through the Scrumbugs interface. Right now, the s= tag is taking precedence even if a change was made on Scrumbugs more recently.

Or better yet, Scrumbugs could write to the status whiteboard to always keep the s= tag and the current Sprint in sync.

Yeah. This is the problem with using both methods to manage sprints. If a team wants to use scrumbugs, they probably shouldn't use the s= whiteboard tag, and vice versa. It's possible that SB could keep track of the source of the last sprint move, but that seems as though it'd be confusing for people as well if you, for example, moved a bug via SB, and then Les changed the s= tag in bugzilla. His wouldn't work in that case.

Scrumbugz updating the whiteboard is possible, but a bit scary. We're not writing to bugzilla so far, but we easily could. The scary part is that there are A LOT of different styles of info in the whiteboard. We'd just have to be very careful to preserve all of that and only change the s= tag.

openjck commented 11 years ago

Understood. I think it could be a nice feature. In addition to helping out with things like this, it would make it possible to search/sort/filter/etc. by Sprint in Bugzilla

Exactly. It'll most likely happen. Hopefully sooner than later.
