MantisBT 2.1.0 - Change severity & priority

Hi.

Trying to reduce the number of choices on severity and priority. I'd like to change severity to only contain feature, minor and major andpriority to contain low, normal and high. Any guides/tips on how to do it? Running MantisBT on windows 2008 R2 IIS server, using Mysql & PHP 7.3
I've been searching a bit on google and these forums, but only finding very old posts/info, can't really see a way to change it. I've tried editing config_inc.php under root/config/ to setup smtp email etc, and put in the following:
$g_priority_enum_string = '10:feature,40:minor,60:major';


Is it possible to change severity pr. project or are there global settings only?

Possible
You can use page Manage > Manage Configuration > Configuration Report for it.
When entering a configuration option, remove "$g_" from the name of the option.

Hi, thanks for the prompt reply, it worked! I added in the configuration report configuration option for 3 items:
status_enum_string
priority_enum_string
severity_enum_string.

I selected default for the project, and apply filter.

When i upgrade mantisbt, which files should i take care of to make sure these customization are migrated to next version? config_inc.php and ?

There are no additional files needed for it. These customizations are stored in database.

Dear eherstad,

I still cannot configure severity and priority. I'm using Mantis 2.5.1
even after add new "Configuration Option". What am I missing?
