Description Ismael Juma CLA 2006-07-26 04:38:31 EDT 
When I create a new bug report through the Mylar editor, the assignee field is blank even if there's a "Default Assignee" for the component set in Bugzilla. This differs from the web client behaviour. Note that the bug does get assigned to the correct person if the field is left blank. It's a minor issue, but it would be nice if the default assignee was visible while filing the bug.

I've seen this with Bugzilla 2.22. Thanks.

Unfortunately default assignee is not available via the bugzilla product configuration (config.cgi) api.  There is ongoing work to give bugzilla a web services interface which may give us access to this type of additional information (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org//show_bug.cgi?id=224577).  Lets re-examine this once the web services api is available.

Frank, do you know if this information is now available from the Bugzilla configuration? Otherwise we should file a bug against Bugzilla.
Comment 3 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-10-25 14:59:39 EDT 
Frank, can you check if this is in the Bugzilla web service API?

Yes Product.get has the two fields default_assigned_to and default_qa_contact since bugzilla version 4.2 (see http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.2/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Product.html)
Comment 5 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-10-29 17:12:28 EDT 
Great! Then we should add that to the repository configuration on 4.2 and later and use the value when initializing task data.
Comment 6 Frank Becker CLA 2013-10-11 14:43:36 EDT 
We add support only for the REST API (Bugzilla 5.0) and not for XMLRPC (Bugzilla 4.2)
Comment 7 Sam Davis CLA 2014-02-25 13:56:03 EST 
Frank, should we mark this as WONTFIX or just remove it from the milestone?
