dregad 2024-02-19 18:33 developer ~0068570 Last edited: 2024-02-19 18:33	Commit MantisBT master e3f572c0 introduced a regression - APPLICATION ERROR 1502 (Category not found) is thrown when attempting to edit an issue without a category. This is caused by function category_is_enabled() not checking for the special case where $p_category == 0.

MantisBT: master 30d2400e 2022-09-24 07:47 cas Committer: dregad Details Diff	Implementing the Status field of a category The status field in the Category table is present for quite some time but not being used. Categories can be deactivated, meaning that they will no longer be available when creating or updating an issue. Existing issues will keep their current category even if it is deactivated. Fixes 0031017 This is the original contribution by @cas from the pull request https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/pull/1853, with all subsequent corrective commits squashed, and commit message reformatted.

MantisBT: master 05c1639f 2024-02-11 10:20 dregad Details Diff	Use enabled/disabled for category status Since we currently only use a binary state (enabled/disabled) for the status, we do not need to make things more complex than they have to be. This simplifies @cas's original contribution by: - using a checkbox for input instead of radio buttons - display a check icon instead of relying on language strings in lists - standardize on enabled/disabled terminology This also fixes the "inverted logic" (status == 0 was previously treated as enabled, which is the reverse of one would expect.

MantisBT: master af14961f 2024-02-11 11:50 dregad Details Diff	Keep current disabled category when editing issue When an issue assigned to a disabled category is edited, the category should be kept as-is unless the user specifically updated it. Update print_category_option_list() to add the current category, but label it as disabled so the user knows they should change it, and set the disabled attribute on the option so it can't be re-selected once changed.
