Add a "Closed Date"

Post by cmichalak »

Hello All,

In Mantis, The "Last update date" and the "Creation date" exist.
Does the "Closed date" exist ?
If not, how is it possible to create this "Closed date " which would automatically be filled in when applying the "Close" status to a record ?

Thx

No.
And I recommend not to create such a field, as an issue can be closed / reopened / closed multiple times.
The better way is to search in database table mantis_history_table for the last time when the status of an issue has been set to closed.
Please use Search before posting and read the Manual

Thanks for your answer.
Does this table contain the "FIRST time when the status of an issue has been set to closed" ?

The table contains all the data that you see in the "History" section when viewing an issue.
So, yes, it contains also the date the FIRST time when the status of an issue has been set to closed.
