#16171 closed Bug (fixed)

"Easy pickings unset" is confusing lots of people

Description

People keep getting the message "Easy pickings unset" after making a change on a ticket, and then they get confused, and sometimes they come back and 'revert' e.g.

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7028#comment:58

Can someone with server access run a query to set all the NULLs for that flag to 0 or whatever the value should be?

(It is possible to do it with the batch modify interface and a query like this: https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=!closed&easy=!1&easy=!0

But then my name will be on 1296 open tickets, which is a pain because, although I read django-updates anyway, getting e-mail personally about every ticket will break the email filters I have which currently can distinguish between django-updates and the tickets that I've actually been involved in).

And the UI/UX flag while we are at it.

... and now we have a similar problem with the new UI/UX flag :)

Moving to RFC — this isn't a ticket the community can act upon.

Given Trac's database schema, this isn't trivial to do in the database:

code.djangoproject=> select name, value, count(ticket) from ticket_custom group by name, value order by name, value;
        name        |         value          | count

One would have to insert a row in this table for every ticket number, unless there is one already.


However, the way the tracker notifies contributors has changed since this ticket was opened. I think it's now possible to do it with the "batch modify" plugin without side effect.

I've done that, except that I managed to mix easy and ui_ux, but fortunately I could recover the list of tickets where I had accidentally unset ui_ux, and set the flag again in batch.
