Bugzilla 4.0: Bug Updating and Adding Attachments Via WebServices

by Max Kanat-Alexander (mkanat)

There have been two really big WebService enhancements checked in to the Bugzilla 4.0 tree in the last few days:

• Bug.update, which allows you to update all of a bug’s fields via the WebService.
• Bug.add_attachment, which lets you add an attachment to a bug via the WebService.

These will be available in most Bugzilla installations once they upgrade to 4.0. There are a lot of great possibilities for these, including version-control integration, the ability to automatically attach screenshots to a Bugzilla bug, etc. I wanted to let everybody know about them in advance so that you can start building tools that will integrate well with Bugzilla 4.0!
