[p4] question about p4 change -i

Hello Michael,
It is documented in ‘p4 help undoc’.

p4 --field Field=replacement_text
p4 --field Field+=extra_text
Modify the contents of a spec returned by p4 [specname] -o. The
modified spec can be piped directly to another command that expects
a formatted spec, e.g. p4 [specname] -i.

Regards,
Chuck Pflaum

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Sambwise'.

For what you describe ("create changelist and submit"), just use
"p4 submit -d MYDESCRIPTION".��The submit command will
create a changelist for you automatically and submit it.

But to answer the general question of how to create a changelist with a
particular description, do:

p4 --field "Description=MYDESCRIPTION" change -o | p4 change -i
