Open defect creation dialog directly with external weblink
Hello,
I am developing a GUI tool suited for Testers using a jazz backend, they have access and overview for test cases, requirements and test results in this tool. When they find a bug, they should create a defect in jazz, but at the moment they have to use the browser and go to test case -> test case execution record -> previous result details -> test run -> defects -> create defect. Then a prefilled creation dialog in a popup window is displayed.
To make this more efficient, is there a way to create a weblink which opens this creation dialog directly (knowing the configuration context etc.)? Is there a possibility to change the prefilled fields?
I could do it like this: https://jazz.net/library/article/1001 programmatically, but I want the user to use the jazz environment directly in this case.
Any help is very appreciated, thank you very much!
Accepted answer
You might want to read https://docs.oasis-open-projects.org/oslc-op/core/v3.0/os/dialogs.html. If an OSLC server supports a delegated creation dialog, you can discover its URI through standard discovery from the OSLC Service Provider Catalog. Whether a delegated creation dialog supports specifying prefilled data such as configuration context is implementation dependent.
