adding tickets to milestones

I often need to "set up" a milestone by adding several tickets to it. It would be nice for the 'milestone' dropdown to default to the last viewed milestone if I have just been looking at one.

    I would also like this feature.

    We're actually working on a mass edit feature for Lighthouse. You'll be able to either get a saved ticket bin or write a custom query, and update several attributes at a time (tag/milestone/state/assigned user). The backend is done, we're just waiting on the UI for it.

    I'll kick this actual feature request around and see what everyone thinks.

    Thanks for quick reply Rick.

    My idea for implementing this feature if you're interested: When viewing the tickets for a milestone (http://subdomain.lighthouseapp.com/projects/284-name/milestones/1234-name ) there could be a query string parameter added to the "Add Ticket"
    url to auto select the current milestone for the new ticket (http://subdomain.lighthouseapp.com/projects/284-name/tickets/new?milestone=1234-name ). It's a small change, but streamlines the process.

    Yes, I was thinking of something similar to extra url parameters or cookies. Using javascript to do the reordering would even keep the cache valid.

    Damn... the recent update to the 'new ticket' form now selects the top milestone by default, and it's not really what I want because we add lots of tickets with no milestone. I guess the old saying is true, be careful what you wish for.

    Agree with John with the changes to the new/edit ticket form. So many tickets are now being created or updated with the incorrect milestone at our company. Not all tickets fall under a milestone so people don't think to look there if they don't already have one in mind.

    There was another thread on this actually. It was some odd behavior someone added, and I reverted and deployed the fix this morning.

    I think the way it works now with the recent changes is good - you can set a default milestone for a project now if you want that behaviour. I'll resolve this discussion if nobody objects in the next couple of days.
