stock replies would be nice

[Sebastien Bacher]

The GNOME bugzilla has stock replies (labels next to the comment text entry) for the different standard actions:
"[need_stacktrace] [bad_description] [bad_description+crasher] [bad_stacktrace] [obsolete] [mozilla] [not_gnome] [duplicate] [dupe+needinfo]"

Clicking on an action put the stock reply to the text entry and update the bug settings according the standards they have defined (needinfo when something is required, correct severity/urgency for a crasher, duplicate for a dup, etc)

Having that feature would be nice

(This is mutually exclusive with bug 520405.)

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

I support that suggestion - given the number of duplicates, badly described bugs, etc... there are this would be really useful.

[Michael Nagel (nailor)]

just ran into this "bug", too.

at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses there is some sort of compilation of stock replies, but googling for "launchpad stock replies" still directs me here... it would really be nice to have some of the most frequent replies available with one click...

[Vikram Dhillon (dhillon-v10)]

We could just use the info. from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses, put it on a launchpad page, and then link it as common responses. In the little sidebar where we have like "Mark as duplicate" there could be a link for common responses. This would make that page *extremely* useful especially for new users because they and everyone else can use it as a reference. I would like to work on this one. Thanks.

While I filed one of the duplicates, I would vastly prefer the approach suggested in bug #520405. What would it take to get a WONTFIX on this one?
