Problem/Motivation

After database updates have been run from Drupal's admin UI, it would be swell if there was a link to the Status Report, please.

Before:
Post-update.php without Status Report link

After:
Post-update.php with Status Report link

thanks,
-mike

Steps to reproduce

Run database updates from the Status Report page of the admin UI and when it is complete, see the lack of a link back to the Status Report page.

Proposed resolution

Add a link to the post update page if the user has permission.

Remaining tasks

None.

User interface changes

The addition of a "Status Report" link.

Introduced terminology

None.

API changes

None.

Data model changes

The code changes look good, since this is a front end change a screenshot is needed I think.

I added the needs issue summary tag to get the standard issue template back, it's helpful to have all sections to review as issues progress.

I did confirm that the administration pages links are tested elsewhere.

@nicxvan, @cilefen,

Wow - thanks so much for hopping on this so quickly!

Some background on this request: each year at Florida DrupalCamp, during lightning talks, I share my list of "Drupal grievances" from the previous 12 months. The lack of the "Status Report" link was one of my original grievances a few years ago. At the time, I found a different core issue (which I have been unable to find again) that mentioned this, but its scope was bigger and never went anywhere.

Fast-forward to a few days ago, and I decided that this would not only make a good item for my "grievance rewind" for this year's lightning talk, but also a good issue to tackle (and possibly mentor someone new on) for Florida Drupal Camp's contribution day. Imagine my surprise (and joy!) when I opened this issue a few minutes ago to see the MR!

Hopefully, the narrow scope of this issue will allow this MR to be merged.

Marking as RTBC.

I agree it's a good change, it's still needs work though because issues affecting the UI need before and after screenshots.

I added the default template back in.

If a section of the template is not applicable you can just leave it blank rather than deleting it, it makes it easier to see what is missing.

@nicxvan - just to clarify, are you saying that all that is currently needed is a before-and-after screenshot (and perhaps some better information in the issue template)?

Yep! Just a before and after screenshot.

I already added the template back into the issue summary.

Looks great! Not sure if this needs a change record or not.

I have reviewed the MR and the code looks good to add the link to the page, however I suggest opening a follow up issue to convert both links to use Url::access instead of User::hasPermission. Currently if the required permission changed to "access site reports", for example, the test would still pass even though the link would not work. Since we're already using this pattern I suggest we keep it for now and get this one in. Looks good to me.
