Is there any way we could add create parameters to the P4 client?

Hi Laszlo,



An option would be to run a script that first creates a new review and sets the custom fields that you need to change. Here is the documentation for the command to create a review http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/25542/



I tested with this sample shell script:



#!/bin/sh

#Params:

#1: $p

#2: $u

#3: $c

#4: %C

ccollab admin review create --custom-field "p4field=$4" --title "Review for changelist $4"

ccollabgui --pause-on-error --scm perforce --p4port $1 --p4user $2 --p4client "emptyArgumentPrefix $3 emptyArgumentSuffix" addchangelist last $4



Then on P4V, I configured the script as a tool under Tools > Manage Custom Tools... > New > Tool.

I selected the "Add to applicable context menus" check box on the Add Custom Tool dialog. On the same dialog, I set the Application as the script file and the Arguments as $p $u $c %C



When I ran the tool, the script first created a new review with the custom field and title I specified. Afterwards the add to review wizard was opened with the review just created as the selected review. After going through the wizard, the review got created with the changelist I selected and the custom field and title I specified on the script.



Please let us know if this works for you.
