customise bug id

Post by ismee »

i don't want the bug id auto generated in sequence, i want to type and input bug id by admin.
because i got an old version of buglist in excel sheet, the excel sheet bug id will be master, then i will just input those critical bugs into mantis one by one.
but i want the mantis bud id same as excel sheet bug id.
how to make the bug id can be customised?

example:
i create new issue, then a field allow me to enter bug id "0057"...

Of course this is possible but not with just some customization
Why?

Maybe you should just use a custom field to enter the ID's from your Excel sheet.

we are not allow to change the excel sheet format, ans now i;m using mantis as bugs database only, I do not need thos assign,re-assign, follow up function.
I just want to store bug description and my test result in mantis corresponding the excel bug id, simple, so those concerns raised by them are not applicable to me.

I still don't have another idea than using a custom text field for it.
Is there any reason why you don't want to use this?

Use this plugin to display the value of a custom field instead of the internal bug id
