Bug Description

Hi,

pm-dashboard loads lists of bug_tasks via searches into memory and then allows to filter down results locally. To allow to filter by tags, I need to fetch the bug after the bug_task has been fetched which requires another roundtrip to LP per bug. It would be nice if we would have a read-only property on bug_tasks with a copy of the tags.

(NB: I do understand that we could search by tags, this is another feature in pm-dashboard which would be useful but for a different use case. The approach of fetching a list of bug_tasks and filtering locally is much nicer to interact with ATM :-)

Thanks,

Curtis Hovey (sinzui)

I'm not sure adding a read-only property is the right solution, but we should do something to improve this situation. It's a quite common problem, but I think it's better fixed by fixing the API infrastructure to allow fetching the bug data at the same time.
