Hi,
Kaldari asked yesterday on irc what the "Flag for later" button does on a
task on Maniphest.
After a few minutes of confusing googling (you can imagine the freaking
button appearing in thousands of bugs with the button...) I found that it is
like a favourites list, personal and hidden, with color coded categories.
Go to
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/flag/ while logged in and you will
see the items you have flagged for later.
Not sure what to use it for, but for example I've flagged a bug I created
that I was having difficulty finding everytime, for easy access.
If you think of other use cases or actually are using it for something, it
would be great to know.
I used this feature a lot last quarter to track and organize a variety
of phab tasks that were "interesting" from my point of view as the
Platform Product Manager. I picked names for various colors
(red=Urgent, green=Platform Dependencies, purple=Future,
checkered=Logging) and made saved searches with these names in the
flags tool. I have shortcuts to the saved searches on my dashboard
(<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/dashboard/view/5/>).
One goofy thing with flags is that in their search view you don't see
status changes for the tasks (titles don't cross out when resolved) so
you have to click through and look at the tasks occasionally.
