A relation between category field and the selected project

[ramorim]

Hi everyone,

This week I noticed something weird in my job's mantis. I noticed that the page that is responsable to create a new bug, the field category only shows itens related to the selected project in the header application. For instace: Lets supose that I have 3 projects (a,b,c) and each project has their categories. If try to create a new bug in the project "a", the category combo box will only show categories from the project "a".

If I try to see the created bugs for a particular project, the field category in the filter will show all categories from all projects that exists in my mantis. I mean, the restriction between the fields category and the selected project doesn't exist in the page that the user use to filter and see the bugs that were created. I'd like to create a rule or a link like the one that already exists in the page that creates the new bugs.

Does anyone have a clue about that situation? I created another customizations in the mantis, but this one seems a little bit complicated for me.

Thanks in advance,

Rodrigo Amorim

If you have selected all projects (in the box (top right)) then i see (Mantis 1.2.1) only category "all" and "general".
When you select a project "a" in the top right listbox then you get only the categories of project "a".

HI all,

In fact Phileas was right, when I select a project in the top right page, in the view issue page, the field category only shows categories from the selected project, but I realized that my problem is over sub-projects. When I select a sub-project, the field category shows all categories from the project, is there a way to make the field category works like it works in create issues page where it only shows categories from the selected sub-project.

Thanks a lot,
