[Horde][preflight] preflight and submit automatically.

Development Pipeline & Plugins

Hello,

I am currently setting up a Horde environment and testing Preflight, including the “Preflight and Submit After Success” option.

In our setup:

  • The Horde server is configured with a Perforce service account FFF (in globals.json)

  • Two developers use personal accounts AAA and BBB

When AAA creates a changelist, Preflight runs successfully.
However, I am not sure whether “Preflight and Submit After Success” is intended to work for changelists owned by AAA/BBB, or only for changelists owned by the service account FFF.

I tested changing the CL owner to FFF, and in that case preflight does submit successfully after completion.

My questions are:

  1. Is “Preflight and Submit After Success” intended to be used only with a single automation/service account (like FFF)?

  2. Are regular users (AAA/BBB) expected to use Preflight only, and submit manually?

  3. Is there any official guidance or recommended usage pattern for this feature?

Thank you.
