Change Delete button name to Delete issue
Added by Frederico Camara almost 5 years ago.
Updated about 2 years ago.
Description
I noticed some users would click on the edit button to edit a commentary, and then on the delete issue button on the bottom of the page (on the action menu), and then confirm. It happens sometimes, most of our users don't have the permission to delete an issue, but I've had project managers doing this from time to time when they are tired.
The patch is very trivial, it changes the name of the button from "Delete" to "Delete Issue". So as it is not mistaken for "Delete what is selected", which is the expected behavior for some users.

BTW: I probably am forgetting the tests.
Tests checked. No tests for this.
Which version of Redmine do you use?
- Related to Feature #34494: Rename the save, edit and delete buttons on the query form to clarify the scope added
Another solution has been posted as #34494.
Slightly different Patch (for Redmine 4.1), renames button to Delete Issue and shows the button only on top menu (hides it from the menu near the issue history).

Frederico, another solution to avoid the confusion was posted as part of #34703, please take a look.

Marius, your patch addresses a different problem. My problem is the user sometimes mistakes the "delete this comment" icon for the "delete this issue icon". Both have the same caption and depending on how you configurer your redmine, can sometimes be close on the bottom part of the interface. That I know, it happened three times where I work, with different users. And it was a pain restoring the data from the logs, and the attachments from the backups.
My patch mostly addresses the
delete issue icon on the bottom part of the interface, I don't mind the non destructive actions:
- it changes the caption to differentiate between the two actions
- it changes the actions menu behaviour at the bottom part of the interface:
- at first I was removing the actions menu entirely, because it was a repeat. But it is very helpful there
- now I am removing just the delete issue from the bottom actions menu. If the user wants to delete the issue, he can use the button on the actions menu on the top.
+1
I have seen so many accidents that people accidentally delete an issue. In my observation, such accidents often occur in the following situations. I believe that the suggested change greatly reduces such accidents.
- When trying to delete an issue comment which is displayed at the bottom, they misunderstand the "Delete" in the action menu at the bottom as a button to delete a comment
- When trying to remove a relation to another issue, they misunderstand the "Delete" in the context menu as a menu item to remove the relation
I am attaching an updated patch. It uses an existing i18n string button_delete_object added by #34494 instead of adding a new string. Also, it updates tests.
