Description

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Create a new card. Add some properties to it and set their values. Add some comments in there as well. Do not set the card title.
  2. Go back to kanban view and try deleting the card.
  3. Notice the UI didn't show any delete confirmation for this card.
  4. Create a new card and repeat step 1 but this time also set a card title.
  5. Go back to kanban view and try deleting the card. Notice that this time you see a delete confirmation.

Expected behavior

Card delete confirmation should show up if there is any data in the card.

Edition and Platform

  • Edition: Mattermost Boards (plugin)

Additional context

The log in webapp is probably if the card has no title and no content, don't show the delete confirmation dialogue. It does not take into consideration the properties and comments in the card.

Research direction
The bug is in the delete confirmation logic likely within a component handling card deletion in the kanban view. Investigate the condition that determines whether to show the confirmation dialog; currently it only checks for title and content but ignores properties and comments. Look for files related to card actions, such as CardDetail or BoardCard, and update the condition to include all non empty data fields.
