Summary | 0007285: Filters and custom fields: Filter by regex or substring | ||||
Description | We are using a custom field to hold external bug numbers e.g. from a client's own bug database. Typically they send us bug reports so we end up storing the external reference as Report#/Bug#. Unfortunately the custom field filters in Mantis only display the custom field values as drop-down, which does not let us filter on a specific Report#. It would be nice to have the custom field filter accept free text to act as substring or regex for the filtering. Of course a workaround is to use 2 custom fields, one for Report# and the other for Bug# but that's not very intuitive and there might be other cases where this workaround won't apply. | ||||

I would like to subscribe to this request. So we would really like to filter for "Customer2 |

@mks if you have a finite, and reasonable number of entries in your customer list, you may want to consider using a multi-select custom field |

@dregad, thank you for the quick response. We have currently 82 values. To us, this seems difficult to manage with the lists. |

Indeed ;-) In that case, unfortunately and unless you can come up with a patch to speed up the process, I don't see this feature making it into core any time soon. |
