Hello: - One solution (by no means the only one) is to deny 'developer' the permission to 'update' a defect -- this will still allow them to assign [except they do it via the 'assign' button, not by directly editing the assigned-to field in the update page], add bugnotes, change state [subject to th...

Hello 'boots: I'll take a whack at this, but this is just off the top of my head so your mileage may vary: - Which states correspond to critical phases in your development process? If moving a bug to state VERIFIED (for example) triggers a release to a client, then you should be darn sure the defect...

Hello Anna: Let me first apologize in advance if I have misunderstood your question. --- If you are referring to clicking 'Add' to add a relationship to another defect without specifying the defect number, then yes this does bring up the error you describe [I was able to reproduce this behavior].

Hi Sumesh: Please note also that in addition to the steps ed refers you to, to get your custom fields to actually appear on the view issues page, you will need to customize the 'get issues to view' function to include your new custom filed (at least in 1.0.6 -- I believe 1.1 has a simpler method for...

Moving Custom Fields
Hi clausmuus: It depends on the page in question (sorry to be vague here) where the custom fields are put -- for example on the defect report page, they are grouped together at the bottom after the severity, reproducibility, summary, defect description etc. You could move the whole lot up higher on ...

Ooh, almost forgot...
there's a nice implementation of a MantisConnect client called Anonymantis that you may want to look at for ideas/guidance about implementing your own solution.
You can find more info about that here:

I'll take a stab:
Hi Gmichaud: If you have data on defects from some other source that you want to add to mantis, there is an extension that allows import of tabular issue data (like from an Excel spreadsheet or other delimited format). That extension is described here: http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=4220 I...

Does Mantis detect 'Mid-Air collisions' when 2ppl edit a bug
It was with dawning horror that I realized I don't *think* Mantis checks for this: Alice opens defect 1234 in her browser and starts typing a bug note, and changes the state from FOO to BAR Simultaneously, Bob opens defect 1234 and starts editing, adding his own bug note but *does not* change the st...

Actually... I spoke too soon... there's more:
there are other tables you'd want to truncate as well to clear out bug data: this SQL should do it: -- remove all bug data, text, and history DELETE FROM `mantis_bug_table` WHERE 1; DELETE FROM `mantis_bug_history_table` WHERE 1; DELETE FROM `mantis_bug_relationship_table` WHERE 1; DELETE FROM `mant...

another plus for Mantis, for me, just off the top of my head is that I find it very easy to modify [not that I really find myself needing to do it that often] When I tried to do the similar things in Bugzilla [such as adding new defect states] I found it very rigid and difficult to customize -- but ...

Hi Hazy: The basic steps for adding custom fields are here: http://mantisbt.org/manual/manual.page.descriptions.system.management.pages.manage.custom.fields.php There is a page for doing this in Mantis already (you dont' need to add one) Log in as an administrator and go to 'Manage > Manage Custom F...

Hello Hazy: If you have the following in your config_inc.php: $g_file_upload_method = DISK; then Mantis will store attachments to bugs on the local (to the server) filesystem. [the other option is to store them in the Database] You can configure per-project folders for each project. In my instance I...

Facility to Batch-add a large number of projects at one go
I searched a bit in this forum and didnt' see that anyone had implemented this, but preemptive apologies if I've missed it ---------- We are poised (so close!) to implementing Mantis and as I'll be administering it, I don't really relish manually adding the upwards-of-200 projects we'll need to have...

But first!
If you only want to clear out the bugs you've submitted and keep your users and other customizations, you can issue the following SQL to the database [here I am assuming you're using mysql, your mantis database is named 'bugs' and the table prefix is 'mantis_', the default: use database bugs; delete...
