ipdevinfo maintenance task link should be to task details view, not the task editor

Nav 5.1.2

The intuitive way to cancel a Maintenance task is to search for the netbox and click on the "active maintenance" task in the right column in ip device info.

Then you end up in /nav.../maintenance/edit/nnnn/

You can then edit, but not cancel.

The way that works is to visit the maintenance calendar, scroll through the rainbow, find the task. You then end up in /nav.../maintenance/view/nnnn/ and can cancel.

We would like a "Cancel now" button on the edit page (or an "Edit" button on the .../view/ page) and that you end up on the same page from both calendar view and ip device info.

IMHO, the problem here is that ipdevinfo links to the task editor, rather than the task view. For me, it's not intuitive that clicking the task description should do anything but display more details about the task. The user clicking the link might not even have access to edit the task, even if they should have access to view the task details.

My counter-suggestion would therefore be that the link goes to /maintenance/view/nnn/ instead.

I agree. No direct Edit from ipdevinfo. And you end up the same place regardless of which route you choose to look for the maintenance task.
