Hi,<br>
<br>
I guess this is a whishlist request, but I'm writing to see if someone<br>
also had such an issue and found an elegant solution already.<br>
<br>
I'm using RT a lot to deal with my numerous tickets and todos. Right<br>
now, for example, I have 28 tickets opened in my own "queue" (tickets<br>
that I own). I use priorities to figure out what I'm going to do next.<br>
<br>
(One problem is that since we use escalation, even if I set priorities<br>
properly (which already takes a long time), they all go up to<br>
$maxpriority defined on each queue when the due date comes up. So I want<br>
to set the due date and that problem is solved.)<br>
<br>
The fundamental problem is it's really a pain to go through N (where N ><br>
5 generally) and update the due date (or priority...) for *every<br>
ticket*.<br>
<br>
I know about bulk update, but it doesn't apply since, in that case, I<br>
want to assign potentially different values to every ticket.<br>
<br>
So what I envisonned would be to have search results *editable* as is.<br>
Have an option in the search form that would allow the column chosen in<br>
the search to be edited directly. Here's a mockup of the interface that<br>
could be implemented:<br>
<br>

<br>
(Note that in the mockup, only the priority is editable, but anything<br>
could be editable... I guess it would be a "Format" setting in the<br>
"Display columns" box from the search builder...)<br>
<br>
So my question is:<br>
<br>
1. has anyone done anything like this?<br>
2. if not, how much time would you think this would take to implement?<br>
3. ... and how would you go around implementing it?<br>
<br>
Thank you for any input,<br>
