Summary	0022238: 'eta' setting in documentation not very clear
Description	Reading documentation seems not possible show column "eta" on "view_all_bug_page.php" because in explanation of setting "$g_view_issues_page_columns" not especify the possibility of add that column.
Additional Information	Suggestion: Change this <pre> /** The default columns to be included in the View Issues Page. This can be overriden using Manage -> Manage Configuration -> Manage Columns Also each user can configure their own columns using My Account -> Manage Columns. Some of the columns specified here can be removed automatically if they conflict with other configuration. Or if the current user doesn't have the necessary access level to view them. For example, sponsorship_total will be removed if sponsorships are disabled. To include custom field 'xyz', include the column name as 'custom_xyz'. Standard Column Names (i.e. names to choose from): id, project_id, reporter_id, handler_id, duplicate_id, priority, severity, reproducibility, status, resolution, category_id, date_submitted, last_updated, os, os_build, platform, version, fixed_in_version, target_version, view_state, summary, sponsorship_total, due_date, description, steps_to_reproduce, additional_info, attachment_count, bugnotes_count, selection, edit, overdue @global array $g_view_issues_page_columns / </pre> for <pre> /* The default columns to be included in the View Issues Page.

didaquis 2017-01-24 04:56 reporter ~0055280	Same situation of explanation of setting "$g_bug_report_page_fields". In my opinion, is necessary add "eta" on the explanation of setting.

atrol 2017-01-24 17:25 developer ~0055303	There is at least one more bug in this list: There is no field duplicate_id. There are also bugs in Administrator Guide (display.xml), e.g. category instead of category_id

dregad 2017-01-25 04:10 developer ~0055312	I'm wondering if it would not be better to avoid explicitly listing the fields, referencing the actual list in the manage columns page - we are bound to face this type of issues again and again as code evolves, so it becomes a maintenance liability.

atrol 2017-01-25 04:24 developer ~0055313	if it would not be better to avoid explicitly listing the fields +1

didaquis 2017-01-25 05:10 reporter ~0055315	Just asking, I'm not an expert on MantisBT: What is the method for know the names of all posibilities to display if remove that list? It's been listed in other point of documentation or the webadmin needs read the code for found the words? It's possible to generate the documentation dynamically depending on the options available?

didaquis 2017-01-25 05:43 reporter ~0055318	Great. In that case, the documentation might indicate that the user can see all the options in that section. OFF TOPIC: Can you explain me how are you making "quotes" in bugnotes?

atrol 2017-01-25 05:51 developer ~0055319	OFF TOPIC: Can you explain me how are you making "quotes" in bugnotes? MantisBT 2.1 will introduce experimental support for Markdown. It is already enabled on this installation. This is how it works for end users https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/ didaquis, please use the forums for such kind of questions (refer to http://www.mantisbt.org/support.php for links and further details).
