Include the status of the bug in the history

Post by illes »

I don't know how much work is needed to implement this or is it important for other users too, but I would like to ask if my suggestion could be implemented.

The basic idea is to include the status of the bug with every events (e.g. when changing a bug from assigned state to resolved state, the resolved status is included for the note) and use the background colors of the statuses in the first column of the "Issue History" table.

IMO it would improve the visual review of the bug history, especially when it contains 40-50 entries

Please add this to the tracker at http://bugs.mantisbt.org/ .

I think that the concept is good, but the implementation needs some thought. I think that you have to synthesize the status from the history records, rather than changing the database to include the status.
