Bug Description
We're working on updating the set of Launchpad services that a product/
The update happens through a named operation; it's basically a composite update of a group of similar fields, but with a combined HTML representation—not a bunch of checkboxes for the individual booleans or somesuch. We'd like to avoid patching the individual fields and producing separate representations for those.
For now we can invoke the named operation in one request, then issue another to retrieve the new, combined HTML representation of the new field values. But having the named operation return an updated XHTML representation would save us a request.
As of this writing, I understand that this is being worked on by some combination of flacoste, jtv, and others. If that's not the case, please add a correcting comment. If it is the case, setting the "Assigned to" field would be appreciated.
