It really should be possible to set priority, assignee, etc. with combo boxes in this view!
Is this issue different from JRA-818?
I believe JRA-818 is about editing an issue while on the View Issue screen.
I read JRA-818 as a call for editing fields from within the issue navigator or main portal view. Basically, anywhere you can view fields from multiple issues, it would be nice to be able to go down the column, updating priorities/time-spent/etc from that view, rather than having to open each individual issue to make each change.
here's our use-case (cribbed from the comment in 818): This is a huge deal for us as well. On one team alone we have 5 AP's tracking tasks / logging work for a dozen or more developers each. They currently use the JIRA Show Saved Filter With Columns plugin to get all issues assigned to their strike-team members into their Issue Navigator at once, they then must click-to-enter each issue to update any field associated with that issue. We're test-driving the Schedule Planner - AJAX plug-in, but its not the robust solution we're looking for (it wasn't written to accomodate extending it to more / different priorities, issues types, even just columns), but this is a great example of the kind of solution we're hoping for. If we could tweek values in place from our portlets and the issue navigator view, that would be a dramatic (3-5x ) increase in our power-users (users spending all day in your tool) workflow. Thanks! This is extremely important for us in order to use JIRA in Scrum sprint planning meetings.

New Feature
Open
Critical
Allow issue editing in the issue navigator
As a potential workaround the JIRA toolkit:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/JIRA+Toolkit
has a custom field that shows 'issue actions' in the issue navigator. While this field does not allow inline editing of issues, it saves you one click per action. The field does not currently have links for workflow actions but it is not difficult to add this. For customising JIRA's cutsom fields please refer to:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/How+to+create+a+new+Custom+Field+Type
Please note that we try to implement most popular JIRA feature first:
http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:popularissues-panel
so due to the popularity of other features it may be some time until we get the inline edting. Hopefully the custom field will provide a sufficient work around.
Thanks,
Anton
