Githawk: No way to edit issue title

[Huddie]

Is this true? Or I’m missing it?

Nope this has never existed. I think there’s an issue already for it. More a design issue than anything, I’m not sure how we’d do this yet. Maybe in the manage button menu?

That works. Another possibility could be a pencil like icon across from the title only visible to the user.

You know what, I am actually going to close that other, old issue.

[BrianLitwin]

If we could settle on a UI, could PR this. Seems important that if we let users create issue titles, they should be able to edit them too.

[rnystrom]

@BrianLitwin how about:

• New item in manage button
  
  
  
  • Manage button appears if you can make updates, which would include editing title
  
  
  • Use pencil icon
  
  
  • "Edit Title"
  
  
• Show some sort of editing control
  
  
  
  • If we want to be really fancy... a new ContextMenu control with a text box. Focus keyboard on appearance. Done & cancel button.
  
  
  • For a quick win: UIAlertController with a text field
  
  

[BrianLitwin]

Anybody have a strong opinion on light or dark background for this? I'm thinking try to make it work with a dark bg since every other ContextMenu in the Manage menu is dark.

[rnystrom]

Actually think light would be better for text editing, but def open to see it as light (hopefully not hard to change either way)

I'm all ears if anybody has UI suggestions! This is what is currently looks like:

Video:

I'm trying to get it to scroll to the top after the contextMenu dismisses; it looks a little weird doing it w/ feed.collectionView.scrollToTop(animated: true).

also, this is all what I'm doing w/ the UITextView right now:

textView.frame = CGRect(
            x: 0,
            y: 0,
            width: 200,
            height: 200
        )

textView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(
            top: 8,
            left: 8,
            bottom: 8,
            right: 8
        )

Open to suggestions!

[rnystrom]

Amazing!! Small feedback: can it be shorter? Like 120 points or something

And to inset the text view use textContainerInset

• By shorter did that mean not as tall because if so I agree
• will all users have access to edit title functionality, assuming they created the post. I lack access to similar functions like applying tags to my own posts, which I believe I can do in codehub
• video doesn’t load in githawk, does fine in codehub. Is that a githawk issue? (loads now that was weird)

[BrianLitwin]

will all users have access to edit title functionality, assuming they created the post.

I set that to collaborators being allowed to edit - I probably need a viewerCanUpdate flag as well

video doesn’t load in githawk, does fine in codehub. Is that a githawk issue? (loads now that was weird)

my screen recording to .gif workflow is weak, taking suggestions, the gifs are always choppy when I look at them on the app. Are there better ways to share video in comments?

[Huddie]

Would be cool if GitHub did video ~> Gif for you .. but that’s a unrelated to GitHub feature

@BrianLitwin would I be considered a contributor or a collaborator. IMO, if I create an issue, I should be able to edit a title of that self-created post regardless of my role.

As it’s semi related, I feel the same for post labels as well. I believe in codehub I can create posts in certain repos and apply a post label from the start (should be able to modify for your own posts as well) but I’ve never had post label setting access in githawk. Would you agree that might make sense to revisit as well?

[j-f1]

I don’t think GitHub will allow you to change labels on an issue if you don’t have push access to the repository. However, it will let you change the title of your issue.
