NOTE: This Task is not about "Allowing users to rename a Milestone" - since this is already possible, just like any other Project can be renamed. This Task is only about having this action more accessible from a Workboard.
If you love Milestones, you probably have noticed that, if you click on the {nav icon=pencil, name=Edit} Edit menu on a Milestone, from its Workboard, like in this screenshot:
{F253457, size=full}
This is the edit page of a Milestone (see that there is //not// the Name text field):
{F253460, size=full}
And this is the edit page of a normal Column instead:
{F253458, size=full}
So, to edit the name of a Milestone, at the moment, users must know the internal difference between normal Columns and Milestones, to then understand that a Milestone is handled as a Project, and so, its name must be changed from the Project edit form.
Anyway, changing a Milestone column takes a lot of steps:
- click on the Milestone name
- click on Manage
- click on Edit Details
- change the name
- Save
TL;DR this Task is just about trying to have more visual uniformity in a Workboard, and so, an user should be able to rename a Milestone, just as quickly as any other normal Column (if the user has permissions to do soq).
== Proposed change ==
When the user is on a Workboard, trying to edit a Milestone; instead of showing just the Points, we could show also a "Milestone Name" field, like in this proposed solution:
{F253462, size=full}
(As proof of concept I'm also showing that the Milestone name validation must be functional ↑)
Please compare the new Milestone edit form above, with the already-existing Column edit form below:
{F253458, size=full}
== In short ==
This is in short the proposed change for a Milestone:
| Before | After |
|-----------|-----------|
| {F253460} | {F253462} |
NOTE: Again, the above red warning is just to be nice, to show you that the validation system must work.
