How to create a tag or is there a mgmt. page for tags?

Post by oceansummit »

I'm new to MantisBT and trying to use MantisBT 1.1.8 to setup a bug management system. But I found no entrance to define or update a tag. :(
I searched this forum by using 'tags', and just saw the user could access the information page of a tag by clicking an attached tag in a bug-viewing page. But, as you can see, I can not access it before I'm able to attach a tag to a bug.
Thank you in advance if anyone can share related knowlddge! :wink:

AFAIK there is no way to do this in GUI of 1.1.x
You would have to do this by inserting values in mantis_tag_table.

In version 1.2 you will find a page for administration of tags.

this is not possible with a standard installation of 1.1.x or 1.2.x
first you would have to add a column in mantis_tag_table for the project_id and of course change some sourcecode

this is a known feature request for MantisBT, have a look at
