Issues that will not be fixed by the first webqueue2 team (after 7/16/21)
Per a conversation w/ @sundeep : Add support for parsing and updating a new custom header to track an item's category if/when said header is added to the queue-cli.
Problem
The assignment and priority fields for items are interchangeably used to track a class/category of item e.g.
emuffley
and0-FYI
are both common assignments but only the former is an assignment to a person. This makes it difficult to programmatically address the assignment field.Similarly, people use the priority field is various arbitrary ways like numeric ranking (1, 2, 3...) or relative adjectives (low, medium, high) but in recent month priority has also been used to track issues related to COVID.
The ambiguous use of these fields makes it difficult to programmatically interact with them due to the variety of content that can appear (usernames, groupings, numbers) and the multitude of delimiters that can be used (comma
etc.)

@sundeep will start the conversation about adding this header to the queue-cli scripts. If/when this happens, we should know the name and expected formatting of this header.
