We are creating fogbugz cases through programming using https://example.com/ScoutSubmit.asp. Can anybody let us know that how to pass value so that the case can be assigned to a particular user on Fogbugz.
Your help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Set up a project and area that has the person you want the case to be assigned to. Then just make sure scoutsubmit sets the submission to that project and area and the case will automatically be assigned to them.
You'll have more control using the FogBugz API but the above will work as well.

I'm wondering how to assign two users to one task in JIRA. I took over a project that was set up by someone else. The problem is we are doing pair programming and we would like to keep track of time.
I dont think you can not actually assign two users to field assignee as it is built-in field.
You can create new required field e.g. pair-assignee and have pair tracked there. Here is a doc about how to setup a custom field.
By design, this is not possible as such - it's a single value field.
But there are ways around this limitation.
Since a number of people had this question, Atlassian has set up a page for the possible solutions/workarounds.
Guys i'have a question.
I'm currently buiding a wizard that has 5 step's until being completed.
The user starts by the first step where he generates the entry id.
From there on i start passing the id over the url like this:
host.com/{controller}/{view}/{id}
This is how my url looks like after the step1,
------- currently at view step2 passing the id=120
host.com/{controller}/step2/120
This isn't safe because as you know, anyone can change the id and affect other users's entries. Ofc, it can be quickly solved by reading if the authenticated user is proprietary of the entry that he must be trying to access in each view.
Now, my question is... is there a better way to do this?
Any tips for future work?
Is what i'm doing enougth?
(begginer doubt praying for a expert awnser)
Cheers
...It can be quickly solved by reading if the authenticated user is proprietary of the entry that he must be trying to access in each view.
Yes, that's true. You should start there.
Here are some other things that you could do:
You could make your entry ids Guids instead, so that a would-be hacker would never try to guess an entry id.
Because using GET for sensitive data is a bad idea, you could, as endyourif suggests, pass the entry ids with hidden fields instead.
If you are truly concerned about the user altering the ID in the URL, then you must spend the additional time adding an "isOwnedBy" like functionality.
As an additional security measure, you could pass it via a hidden variable in the form so it is at least not as easy to change as well.
Edit: I like #LeffeBrune's suggestion of encrypting the idea as well. However, I still suggest that the validation is performed on the function to ensure the user owns the object. It's just good practice.
I need to wire two applications so that one reacts when another is selected.
I need a calendar view (populated in one application) to update when a person is selected from a list (based from another application).
I have been trying to do this for absolutely ages and have hit a brick wall as the existing knowledge base is pretty poor. I don't understand how to compose the action required to do this, or how to use the WDSL system to wire the two, which i will be linking using the UNID of the person.
Any help appreciated.
Assuming you are using 8.x+. Look up this example in the designer help: Example 1 - Simple composite application creation using Lotus Notes components
I want to write an application that assigns Fogbugz cases programmatically, how would I accomplish this? Is it possible to achieve this given any of the following scenarios:
The user enters text in my
application's input field and the
Fogbugz report is opened in the
browser where the "note" field is
populated with the text from the user
input
The fogbugz report is assigned to the
specified user in the application
without the browser even being opened
i.e. the report is stored directly in
the DB.
I'm planning to add default values to the other fields as well so I would assume the process would be the same for adding text to the "note" field.
You can do this with the Fogbugz API. See the heading "Editing Cases" for the specifics on how to edit a case (which includes creating a new one). It's a little complicated (or perhaps just oddly designed) but, as I remember, you basically have to call cmd=new if you want to create a new case, supply your text in the 's' parameter and set the ixPersonAssignedTo to the correct person. For an existing case, use cmd=edit.
This is possible both with a regular form posted to your Fogbugz installation and some server side code that calls the API.
You might want to write a plugin for FB and allow others to use it. (share it or sell it)
I'm customizing work item templates in TFS 2008 through the PowerTools and I'm wondering is it possible to hide a field (or it's value) for certain users?
For example, let's say I open TFS to my clients so they can submit feature requests. I'd like them to see the work item created, to see the history, changes etc. but I'd like to keep some of the field private and for our internal use.
Is it possible?
Hm, it seems it is not possible YET.

"This is a great suggestion. We have added it as a candidate for a future release. It would help us if you could provide a business case for this request. Thanks."
Another option would be to create a custom interface to the work items that only exposes the fields you want, while hiding others. While it would mean some custom development, it would solve the problem.
You can make it readonly - that's close? Good luck.
You can use the rule.
