Summary

This is a natural expansion of the Workboard Trigger system
to support actions about Subscribers.

Context: even before this change - Workboard users
were already able to move Tasks to Columns with
nice automatisms. For instance, you can already:

  • Play a nice Sound
  • Change Task Priority
  • Change Task Status
  • Add or Remove a Task Owner
  • Add or Remove a Task Project Tag

With this change, you can also:

  • Add or Remove Task Subscribers

If you need inspiration, this feature is useful for adding
more eyes on a given work area; lighten the notifications
of certain people after certain workflows have already been
done, to increase happiness and mitigate Burnout.

If your goal is to oppress yourself or your coworkers - of
course you can also use this feature to increase the Burnout
of yourself or your coworkers, adding random people as
Subscriber.

Note: every trigger action can be confusing in general, but
it is the fault of Triggers in general and not related to
this specific feature - that is totally loveable,
just like you.

Closes T15162

Test Plan
  • Workboard > Column > Create Trigger
  • Add Action > Add Subscriber > (your best friend who hates NodeJS)
  • Add Action > Remove Subscriber > (your antagonist who hates PHP)
  • Move some Tasks there and here, and note that Add/Remove works

I will be 100% honest with you: for unknown reasons this works, even if I totally have no idea how. I just copy-pasted stuff and put everything in a standard kitchen blender.

Small capitalization nitpick, seems all other options use sentence case instead of title case:

Same for some other strings here, e.g. You must select at least one User or Project Tag.

Also, Subscriber Rule value should be a list should probably for consistency be Add subscriber rule value should be a list respectively Remove subscriber rule value should be a list.

UI wise this seems to work as expected, and I think there's no way to move stuff on a workboard via Conduit. Just needs some smaller string adjustments.

fix red color for removal (like in PhabricatorProjectTriggerRemoveProjectsRule)

I still think that the two Subscriber Rule value should be a list strings should for consistency be Add subscriber rule value should be a list respectively Remove subscriber rule value should be a list.

After that it looks like this is ready to get merged.

I still think that the two Subscriber Rule value should be a list strings should for consistency be Add subscriber rule value should be a list respectively Remove subscriber rule value should be a list.

Eeeh but in that way it's 84 and 87 chars long. Amend welcome btw :)

Giving a +1 as I had tested this in D25080#16527 but I would prefer to see the two strings adjusted in D25080#16549

adjust strings as suggested, also, renamed classes from "subscriber" to "subscribers"
