Hi all,

I search issues for various combinations of bulk/batch/edit/date, found various issues but nothing related to this.

Summary¶

Appreciated feature on single edit¶

When editing single issue, one can empty date fields (start, due date), that is :

• state before edit = field contains a date
• state after edit = field is blank.

Missing feature on bulk edit¶

When bulk editing, empty field in edit form means "do not change", not "remove value". Have I missed something ?

How to reproduce / usage scenario¶

• open issue list
• select several issues that have "start date" or "due date"
• right-click, in menu choose "edit"
• bulk edit page opens
• try to express that you want "start date" and/or "due date" to be empty after edit

expected¶

• see either an option, a conventional value, or, suggestion : a check box that says "remove value"
• click on checkbox
• click on "submit"
• see that date fields are now empty

observed¶

• wonder how to express that you want "start date" and/or "due date" to be empty after edit
• click on "submit"
• see that date fields are unchanged

Thank you for our attention.

PS: I'm wondering if this should be categorized as "UI" or "issues". This seemed to me more of a UI issue, not a big deal on issue handling side. Please correct if I chose wrong.
