Summary | 0025469: Category Filter shows deleted categories | ||||
Description | In our Mantis we have several projects (active and deactivated) as well as several categories. The categories "live", they change with time. "Old" categories that are no longer needed are also deleted (Administration -> Manage Projects -> Global Categories -> Delete). Delete categories works. But if I go to the top right on "All projects" and then filter by category, I get all already deleted categories to select. It's illogical, because I already deleted the 'old' categories. (Google translation, original submission follows) Guten Tag, in unserem Mantis haben wir mehrere Projekte (aktive und deaktivierte) als auch mehrere Kategorien. Die Kategorien "leben", sie ändern sich mit der Zeit. "Alte" Kategorien, die nicht mehr benötigt werden, werden auch gelöscht (Verwaltung-->Projekte verwalten--> Globale Kategorien--> Löschen). Kategorien löschen funktioniert. Aber wenn ich rechts oben auf "Alle Projekte" gehe und danach nach Kategorie filtern möchte, bekommen ich alle auch schon gelöschte Kategorien zum auswählen. Das ist irgendwie unlogisch, da ich die 'alte' Kategorien schon gelöscht habe. | ||||

fishgirl, I was not able to reproduce your problem with a fresh install of the latest stable MantisBT release (2.19.0 at the moment). If you are running an older version, I recommend that you upgrade to the latest (download from [1]). If after doing so the problem persists, do not hesitate to reopen the issue and provide detailed step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue. All information has to be provided in English! The following additional information may also be useful:

So as we installed a new version of Mantis: MantisBT-Version 2.21.0 The problem is still there: we have different categories (some with "18, 19" in the name, which means year) for tickets, each ticket becomes his category by creation. Tickets are in projects, as soon as project is deactivated his categories will be deleted via "manage-->manage projects-->clobal categories--> delete". But if I open filter and look unter category, I can see all categories ever existed (from years 16,17....), no metter that there are no tickets with such a category between active projects. I will be pleased to provide pictures. |

@fishgirl instead of pictures, it would be better to provide step-by-step instructions to reproduce the problem starting from a fresh install of MantisBT. Thanks. |

The mantis was updated according to the instruction, provided on the following page: https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en-US/Admin_Guide/html/admin.install.upgrade.html now to reproduction:
In our case the category stays in the filter. |

When trying this I get |

I think I figured it out, if a project has categories, which do not have (all projects) in front, the categories are staying in filter even if the category was deleted from global categories. |
|
These are no global categories, but categories assigned to the project. Goto |
|
yes, thank you, I am aware of that. I was expecting if I delete a category in global categories, they will be deleted in all Projects. |
|
If you delete a global category, it is no longer available in all projects. |
