Add/change a status

How do I:
  • Change the name of a status? For instance, I want "Feedback" to be "Feedback From Dev"
  • Add a new status? For instance, right after "Feedback" I would like to add "Feedback From Customer"

Status assignments

How do I change the Manage settings in Workflow so that once an issue is "acknowledged" or "feedback" it remains in that status regardless of notes added? I am finding it annoying, even inconvenient, for our workflow that Mantis is constantly changing the status to "new"...

Update field based on formula

Is it possible to update a field by using a formula? Example: Assuming an update would be enacted based on the order of the current view, I would like to assign a numeric value starting with 100 and then each next update would add 100. So the first issue would have 100, then 200 for the next issue a...

Re: Optional custom fields

Here is a better screen shot. It is not highlighting the blank, but it is creating a blank when nothing selected and since it is not a required field I think that's why it's working. The blank has to be there in case we want to change a Yes to a blank.

Re: Optional custom fields

The screen shot is showing space is the default but when I add the issue it that is not happening (some kind of screen shot quirk). However, I just added an issue and did not touch the list and it created a blank so perhaps it is working after all.

Re: Optional custom fields

Any empty checkbox would not make sense to a person who doesn't know. See attached. I tried using the List with both a space (" |Yes") and a null ("|Yes"), but I can't get the default of space/null to work in both cases. I can live with forcing to click space/null, but it's not i...

Re: Custom numeric column bug in MantisHub?

Oh, I didn't know it was open source. That makes a difference as to when you can ask for something for sure. Just found another sorting bug with Category.

Re: Optional custom fields

Newbie learning. I thought Report meant listing. Your suggestion worked perfectly. Since I don't need a "No" (blank is actually better in our use case), I changed it to a string. Is there any magic to just allowing either a blank or "Yes"? I tried a few things like Possible Value...

Re: Views/Reports auto generated in MantisHub

Thanks, the link could be useful although I do not have MySql on my laptop (yet). As for support on MantisHub, Mantis Support told me this is the only place I could find any answers. They did not say "support", but they did say that MantisHub is the same as MantisBT in the cloud. I know ne...

Re: Default value for list custom field

Ah, ok. My bad for adding the spaces. As soon as I removed them (thinking it needed the blank separator between values), it worked. Thank you! I added the external link for the screen shot because when I try to add an image here I get this error: Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached. I...

Re: Optional custom fields

I also tried 0 min length and when that didn't work I went back to 2 min length. Ideally I want to have no value or "Yes". This issue forces me to add "No".

Re: Optional custom fields

Here is a screen shot of the definition and the requirement to put in a value (as a blank will generate an error that there is nothing in it): https://www.screencast.com/t/tubQtCMQlkd I did try unchecking a bunch of the stuff and nothing worked. Thanks for trying to help and maybe you know the answer!

Re: Custom numeric column bug in MantisHub?

Thanks atrol.

I don't think this is very minor as indicated in MantisBT. It's a bug that needs to get fixed sooner than later.

If a type is numeric and it does not sort according to the actual value, that's a major bug.

Default value for list custom field

Can any one explain why the default value on a custom list field is not working?

See this screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/cQoj4lkin

Could it be that this is a bug and I should report it?
