Summary | 0028110: New fields in 'View issues' for grouping bug by relation | ||||
Description | Would it be possible to have in Mantis a column in 'View issues' that only gives the ID of the parent bug? This column could be called 'son of' or 'parent bug'. This field would have 3 cases of use.
The status of the parent bug is not important. The purpose of this request is to group the records on the same subject in a tabular view and to highlight specific fields. In our case (see attached bitmap), these are two custom fields 'CodeVTT_Charge Initial' and 'CodeVTT_RAF'. We could use this new field to filter and sort the values. We can't use the principle of project versions because it would not be precise enough. Currently we are using a custom field, but we have to fill it manually on each bug form. Thank you in advance for your attention to our request. | ||||

I'm not so keen on your suggestion. Consider that there is nothing that prevents an issue from having more than one parent and/or child issues. In this case, the behavior of this new field would be undefined. I would suggest to deal with your specific scenario with a Plugin exposing the relationship column instead. You may also be able to achieve the desired functionality using a Custom Function overriding custom_function_default_print_column_value(). This may be a bit simpler to implement, but a less clean solution IMO. |
