| Title | We don't explain which jobspecs won't work |
| Status | closed |
| Priority | optional |

| Description | "p4 -G job -o" applies much more stringent tests than "p4 job -o". It won't even give you a form unless all the values are correct. This means that tricks like ones in Perforce's jobspec, where an illegal value like "setme" is specified as the default value for a select field, can't be used with the integration. |
| Analysis | Work out which jobspecs won't work and explain why not in the AG. Even better, check automatically by trying a "p4 -G job -o" early on and throwing an error referring to some documentation. We're generating the jobspec, so this isn't an issue except for advanced configuration, which we may not support. Re-open this job if we decide to. RB 2000-11-30 |
