Due date by Severity

Post by nolankam »

Hi

I had set custom severity values using the enum strings. For a given value, I would like to set a specific date/time duration instead of having the reporter fill up the field. For example, if the defect is a severity 3, it should set the due date as today + 5 days. If it is severity 2, it should be today +3 days and if it is severity 1, it should be today + 4 hours.

How could I implement such logic?

You could write a custom function or a plugin for it.

Thanks. I saw it and downloaded the plugin. I noticed the plugin allowed the setting of due dates by category / priority fields. How can I change it for "severity"?

That would require quite some coding, either to make it flexable or to change it in full. Curretly such change is not foreseen. In principle you should be able to achieve the same using the priority field, that is a matter of definition.
