Issue 2608: Change topic metadata
Status:  Released
Owner: ----
Closed:  Apr 2014
Reported by kondensa...@gmail.com, Apr 15, 2014
There is a "Topic" field available for a change, and this field is editable until the change enters the state "Merged".

So if a user forgets to set this field for one among many changes for a common feature, that change is not found when searching on the "Topic" field, and there is no way to fix this.

It would be nice to be able to update the "Topic" field also after the merge, or to associate a change with such a topic some other way. That would make the "Topic" field more useful imo.

It's controlled by the permissions on that project whether topic are editable on merged changes, see
