Just about every time someone goes to create a defect from a template what they end up doing is modifying the template and not generating the defect.

The user interface is just not clear. Nobody looks over at the right hand side to see the generate defect button. They click on the link and therefore edit the template instead.

This is so frustrating a a huge time waster. It's happened too many times - so it's got be be poor user interface.

  • I have people get confused over this also (not from defects, but from stories). The little red text is not enough.

  • make the templates in this view read only please

  • And then when you do click on the right button to generate the defect from a template, the user interface doesn't bring up the defect in a state that you can edit - it forces you to click another button to edit the defect! Poorly thought out UI on multiple aspects.
