This may already exist, but after extensive searches and reading, I haven't found anything.

I would like to be able to add a link in a FogBugz case to a file in a Kiln repository, much like you can link a wiki article using W###.

We have client facing documentation (requirements docs, diagrams, design docs, etc.). These are all created in Microsoft Word and Visio.

Since it is relatively difficult to export cases that belong to a project into a client presentable document, it would be very helpful to be able to place all of the client facing project documents in a Kiln repository and then add a link to the case from which it was created. This way we can continue to keep our project documents under version control and intact to share with clients, and link them to the actual work that is done and tracked in FogBugz.

If this is possible, we could also store testing files and such in Kiln and link them to the testing cases in FogBugz. I would much prefer to keep these types of files under version control anyway, and not add them as attachments to a FogBugz case.

Is there an existing feature that will do this, or is this a new feature?

Thanks!

I realize that if I create the cases in FogBugz first, then place the documents in a Kiln repository, I can us the Kiln comments to reference the FogBugz cases and that will create the desired links. It would be helpful however to be able to do it the other way around. If the document is already in Kiln, then when I'm adding a new case, it would be helpful to be able to type K### (or something) to create the link directly from the FogBugz case directly to the document under version control. – James L.

I'm experiencing a similar issue. I checked my code in to Kiln, then created some cases in FogBugz. I know I can link the changeset to cases with BugzID: xxx, but I'd like to go the other way around. – Nathan DeWitt Sep 13 2011 at 13:39

You can link to a changeset by simply putting the hash in a FogBugz case. If you paste in 933530c3ee7825861247436a16ebcbf2e7283dcc, it will turn into a link to Kiln.

If you want to link to a file in a case, you need to paste in the full URL of the file. There isn't really a simpler way to do this, since you need the full path to identify the file. If you have this file:

https://mysite.kilnhg.com/Code/SomeProject/Android/batman/Files/myproj/src/com/companycominc/Config.java

The best you could do is shorten https://mysite.kilnhg.com/Code
