add some custom-fields to mantis

Post by bernard_hinault »

hello,

i want to run mantis bug-tracker in a project-tracking fashion; therefore i am in need to switch of some fields like the field: "Severity"

my question; can i change the field to another name - or if not; can i switch of the field - so that i does not show up? That would be more than great. Besides "switchting off the serverity-field i want to create a new field - is this possible?
i saw that it is possible to create manually added fields; http://manual.mantisbt.org/manual.custo ... fields.php


well - if we compare mantisbt with Trac from http://projects.edgewall.com/trac

i guess trac is abit more heavy and has got another learning curve. It is not as easy to customize and install. But after all ; with http://projects.edgewall.com/trac we can do that; We can edit the SQL queries and remove fields from the select. Also for customization, it is possible to create so-call custom ticket fields:see http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/ ... stomFields
Also check the custom query facilities. well maybe i am closer to what i am looking for: http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracQuery

Back to mantis: mantis bug tracker looks superb - i gave it a try and did some test on the demos;

what do you think?: am i able to run mantis with a customized fashion?

many thanks for the answers in advance.

There currently isn't a setting to disable core fields, like Severity. It should be around in the next release with a templating feature. (ref #4227).

You could edit the appropriate pages and comment out the field.
