Redmine

I just ran into this myself. Setting context[:object] to a new object isn't sent back to the calling code (new object reference). Setting context[:object].value works because :object is still the same object.

I've worked around this in some private code but it wasn't an easy implementation. I think we might need to split how the View Hooks return data from the Model/Controller hooks (View should merge the response strings, Model/Controller should check for reassignments).

I worked around it by adding another hook for plugin-defined detail properties (see issues_helper.rb.patch for Redmine 0.9-stable).

Then the hook code would look like this:

    def helper_issues_show_detail_format(context)
      detail = context[:detail]
      if detail.property == "user_notified" 
        user = User.find_by_id(detail.prop_key) or return
        l(:label_user_notified, context[:html] ? link_to_user(user) : user.name)
      end
    end

I am stepping down from working on Redmine. If someone else is interesting in working on this issue, feel free to reassign it to them.
