Summary	0013610: Allow configuration of which custom fields to display/require upon which status changes
Description	For custom fields, you can now configure whether to display or require the custom field upon resolving and upon closing. Wouldn't it be better to replace these two with a generic table, allowing to specify upon which status change, the field should be displayed and when it is required ? To store this, you could simply use one database field, with an array of key-value pairs, one key per status, and as value: 0 - don't display 1 - display 2 - required. Checking required but not checking display is pointless anyway.

vincent_sels 2011-11-07 16:07 reporter ~0030411	An extra step would be to allow this configuration to be overwritten per project and user.

atrol 2011-11-08 03:22 developer ~0030412	This is a duplicate of 0005744 Do you agree? See also the requirements page where you can contribute if you want. http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/mantisbt:custom_field_display_requirements

vincent_sels 2011-11-08 06:43 reporter ~0030413	Yes, that is indeed an exact duplicate, strange that I've missed that in my search, sorry. I'll take a look and see if I can continue the development suggested there (migrate it to v1.2.8).
