Question

I'd like to configure FogBugz such that the edit box is open by default.

The normal reason I go to a bug is to comment on it, so it would save me a lot of clicks if this was the default action on going to a bug.

Is there a plugin / script that enables this?

Answer 1

One simple way would be, to change the links in the cases list. For instance using a BugMonkey script like this:

name:          Edit from list
description:   From the cases list, jump directly to edit mode
author:        Michel de Ruiter
version:       1.0.0.0

js:
$("a.title").each(function() {
  $(this).attr("href", $(this).attr("href").replace("?", "?pg=pgEditBug&ixBug=").replace("#", "&command=edit&ixBugEventLatest="));
});

But this leaves all other links to cases the way they are.

Answer 2

Not exactly what you're asking but, rather than clicking on a case link, I typically RIGHT click the little popup menu (just to the right of the case title) and select edit, which takes me directly to the edit dialog.

+1 on the feature request, though -- it would be a simplifier.
