Critical Bug - Won't Fix - what does it mean.

[jonno70]

Hi

I am wondering resolution of "Won't fix" means on a JIRA issue…

This issue:
https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/MNT-15500

Looks like it is going to be closed (it has been assigned to closed issues) - and so far there isn't much detail or comment as to what is happening or why..

Is there any way of finding out exactly what the status of this CRITICAL bug is….

thanks, Jon

While investigating that issue, we found that it was caused by changes we made to enhance security in the product. That resulted in our "Won't Fix" designation.

We decided instead that we needed to provide some type of workaround, and we have been testing various options in order to make a recommendation. The last internal update to that issue was a week ago, so I asked the team to publicly summarize their findings.

See the related conversation on ALF-21521.

Thanks for your patience. (And thank you for pinging me on this thread jpotts.)

Thanks Richard - I really appreciate the update…

FYI -  ALF-21521 as well as ALF-21537 and MNT-14718 were all "rolled" into MNT-15500

It would be good if MNT-15500 was updated with the workaround…

cheers
