Review request history form not rendered correctly

[jennifer-richards]

The secdir requests-history form uses raw HTML inputs instead of bootstrap_form, breaking email validation, with an open question about rendering the quick-duration buttons.

Task

• Convert the requests-history form to bootstrap_form (restoring email validation) and resolve quick-duration button rendering

Original report

Describe the issue

The review request parameters form on /group/secdir/requestshistory/ is implemented using explicit HTML input fields in the template. This should instead be rendered by passing a form instance to the renderer and using bootstrap_form for the rendering.

A side effect of the current implementation is that email address validation is not performed correctly. This can be worked around by changing type="text" to type="email" in the <input> that currently exists, but it'd be better to render the form.

I was trying to do that, but I run in the trouble when trying to get the current user interface workable in the bootstrap forms.

The current UI looks like:

where the 1 month, 3 months etc buttons act as buttons that act directly. If I use bootstrap forms, if I use ChoiceField with Widget of Select I get dropdown menu, and if I use RadioSelect widget then I get radio buttons, but either one of them is what we really wanted.

So I think we either would need to make our own Widget type for it, or render the form manually anyways, which would make using bootstrap forms pointless.

I think the correct solution is to just change the type="text" to type="email". I think it used to be text because original idea was that you could search for partial email address, but as the email address is filtered against reviewer it only does exact matches anyways, so this never worked.
