<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Need opinions on this bug 417551 - CSV headers should be the field description, not the field name</FONT>
<BR><A HREF="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417551"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417551</FONT></U></A>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As a Spreadsheet output format, the default template for list/list.csv.tmpl uses the database column names, which even for the default Bugzilla install, and most likely all Bugzilla's out there, doesn't match the adapted field descriptions. Max & Frédéric suggested I ask developers@ for a preference.</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We have 4 options:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1) Leave it. (if people reading the csv output don't know what short_desc or short_short_desc is, oh well.)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2) Append a param to the string, &machine=1, to revert to the column names, otherwise display the descriptions</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3) Append a param to the string, &spreadsheet=1, to provide pretty column descriptions, otherwise display the column names. This requires a change to list/list.html.tmpl as well as list/list.csv.tmpl.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">4) Change it to descriptions only. If an install needs the column headers, they can change their own list.csv.tmpl.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thoughts?</FONT>
