Re: [office] JIRA Work Flow Proposal, was Re: [office] All done

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Michael,

The proposed flow looks good to me but I have a fairly practical question:

If I mark a comment as "applied," I would expect users to think if they 
look at the current working draft, the comment *has been* applied. That 
is that the current working draft is in synch with the status as 
reflected in JIRA.

Would anyone object to my simply updating the status of comments in JIRA 
and then posting a working draft later the same day? Such that any 
comment marked "applied" will be reflected in a draft dated for the same 
day?

Granted in my working copy I may be updating comments, particularly 
those that apply to several areas over a period of days but I will only 
update the status in JIRA on one day and post that draft later the same day.

Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Hope everyone is either enjoying now or looking forward to a great weekend!

Patrick
