How to reference a specific note

[simon.may]

Hi - I am a user of Mantis BT and I notice that when I add a note to an issue, I can reference another issue using the "#" notation. So I can write something along the lines of "We encountered a similar problem when dealing with issue #1234". I also know that I can reference a specific note within an issue using the "~" notation. So I can write something along the lines of "We encountered a similar problem when dealing with issue #1234 as explained in note ~3456".

However, I have also noticed that there is another notation which appears as " ... as detailed in 1234:3456 ... ". Can anyone please explain to me the notation that I need to use to generate this.

Very many thanks,

Simon

I told you the answer at http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=9261#c28130

Use ~<NumberOfTheNote> for a note reference

Hi atrol,

Very many thanks for your reply. I got your answer at http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=9261#c28130 , and many thanks for that. I should also say apologies for initially posting in the wrong place.

My follow on question, though, is how do I make reference to a note in the same manner as KarlReichert as at http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=9261#c27672 - this notation shows both the issue id AND the note id as part of the hyperlink. When I simply use the "~" notation all that shows is the note reference.

Many thanks,

Simon

Which version of MantisBT do you use? Maybe 1.1.x? The new hyperlink has been introduced with version 1.2

Hi,

We are working with two different instances of Mantis at our site. One version is 1.1.4 and the other is 1.2.3 . I have now tried the "~" notation on both systems and I now understand what you are telling me. The same notation works differently on both instances.

Very many thanks for your time !
