Remote Control ability to add changeset tags

[mcld]

For remote control from HOT Task Manager (and other cases), it would be VERY handy to be able to pre-fill changeset tags such as source or comment.

(At the moment, Task Manager instructions often say things like "Please set the changeset source as [...]".)

I can see in the JOSM code that at the moment it is able to handle an "addtags" remote control command. Please could we request a similar one using "addchangesettags" or suchlike?

We could have a separate command like /addchangesettags?tags=foo=bar, or have an optional parameter for /load_and_zoom. Which is better suited for HOT?

[mcld]

In my opinion (Dan S) it would be better as an optional parameter for /load_and_zoom, because the flow of interaction in HOT usually means people are almost always clicking a /load_and_zoom link, in the Task Manager use case I have in mind.

I suspect this could be achieved already by loading .osm file into JOSM using existing remotecontrol api. That's of course assuming that the changeset parsing works better than it used to (it kept losing some of the tags or all of them at least in the past).

In 6517/josm:

fix #9387 - remote control: add ability to add changeset tags

This extends the load_and_zoom handler by optional arguments changeset_comment and changeset_source.
