The gadget does not show issue summary

Issue #831 closed
Hamilton Colyer-Long created an issue

The gadget does not show issue summary (despite the screen shot in the marketplace showing that it does). The old gadget showed the issue summary but the new one shows the worklog description instead. I assume there was an intentional decision to make this change but this means I that I can no longer easily generate a summary of time spent per issue in a format that makes sense to a customer for instance. Adding a 'summary' field to the gadget is not viable either. In summary view you get an empty column when you group by worked user (as I always do) and even in the details view you get a very wide column for the worklog and just a couple of centimetres for the issue summary regardless of how wide you make the page. If it is important to other people that the work detail should be shown then I'd want a button to toggle between work detail and issue summary, otherwise for me personally I'd much rather show the summary.

    Screen shot in the marketplace shows Time Tracking view, and it still shows summary in case of grouping.

    In other cases, I still think it would collide with worklog comment shown, and thus issue summary is shown on moving mouse over the issue key.

    Please let me know if you think it's acceptable.

    Thank you.

    We generate our invoices based on times in the gadget, and for some of our clients we provide a summary of time spent per issue also - so having a mouseover to show the summary does not suit this purpose. If the linked report was able to show the summary then that might be an acceptable workaround for us, but the fact that currently the linked report does not have the parameters from the gadget (ref: #830) makes this an inconvenient workaround. My perfect solution would be to have the summary in the gadget - perhaps as an option to toggle work details or issue summary.
