ryandesign 2006-03-09 05:51 reporter ~0012302	At the bottom of bug_report.php we see that the list of fields remembered is hard-coded to category, severity, reproducibility, profile_id, platform, os, os_build, product_version, build, report_stay and view_state, and so does not include any custom fields like your PHP_VERSION field. I was also unable to find any documentation on the "report stay" feature in the Mantis manual, so I do not know if this behavior is intended or not. But it sounds like a bug to me. A workaround would be to not use the "report stay" feature, and instead to report the first bug normally, then use the "clone" feature to make a copy of it.

cbasset 2009-06-16 10:06 reporter ~0022176	Unfortunately the "clone issue" feature doesn't seems to clone custom fields either. I confirm that this behavior is reproducible with any custom field. Is this done on purpose?
