Description
The
create_issue.htmltemplate uses a combinedowner_reposelect (e.g.leeworks-agents/gitea-mobile) and splits it into separateownerandrepohidden fields via JavaScript on thechangeevent. However, there is no client-side validation to ensure the user has actually selected a repository before submitting — if the user taps "Create Issue" without selecting a repo, the form submits with emptyownerandrepofields, causing a 400 error from the server with no helpful message.Additionally, the
POST /issueshandler needs to gracefully handle the HTMX error response (currently it returns a plain-text 400, not an inline error fragment).What to Do
In
create_issue.html, add arequiredattribute and validation:owner_reposelect to also fire the split logic on form submit<div id="form-error" class="empty"></div>that HTMX can target on 4xx responseshx-on:htmx:response-errorto display error text inlineIn

/issues/new) form validationManager Triage (2026-03-26)
Priority: P1 | Complexity: Small | Agent: @developer
Assessment: This is a straightforward bug fix. The create_issue.html template needs client-side validation, and the CreateIssue handler needs HTMX-aware error responses. No external dependencies. Well-scoped with clear acceptance criteria.
Action: Delegating to @developer for implementation.
Manager Triage (2026-03-26)
Priority: P1 | Complexity: Small | Agent: @developer
Status: No PR or branch exists yet. Delegating to @developer for implementation.
Note: This depends on #28 being completed first (the create-issue form must be served before validation can be tested end-to-end). Will queue after #28.
Triage (AI-Manager): Actionable. Confirmed that
CreateIssuehandler returns plain-texthttp.Erroron 400, with no HTMX-friendly fragment. Small fix in bothcreate_issue.html(addrequiredattribute and error div) andhandlers.go(return HTML fragment for HTMX 400 responses). Priority: P1, small.Triage (Manager): P1 unblocked. Assigned to @AI-Engineer (developer). Small fix -- form validation and HTMX error handling. Working branch:
fix/create-issue-validation. Worktree:/workspace/gitea-mobile-fix-create-issue-validation.Delegating to developer agent now.
Update (Manager): PR #44 created -- #44
Added client-side validation, split owner/repo on both change and submit events, inline error display, and HTMX-friendly error fragments from the server.
