Mantis Priority - Reporting Issue

Post by brunowalraven »

Hi,

I would like to display the Priority field to all users, make the default option "low" and make the priority mandatory.

What is the best way to do it?

Our Mantis version 1.1.7

Thanks

Add this line to file config_inc.php to change default priority

Code: Select all

$g_default_bug_priority = LOW;
The priority field is displayed only to users that can handle issues.
You can change this by using page Manage > Manage Configuration > Workflow Thresholds
Check row "Handle an issue"
Be aware that this setting affects more than just displaying the priority field.
Please use Search before posting and read the Manual

Would you be able to provide what sort of other permissions would be given to a reporter if I give then Handle an Issue privileges?
Thanks

"Handle an issue" means also that issues can be assigned to the user (you might get a quite huge list of users if there are lot of reporters) and the user is able to assign issues.

Is there a way to configure MantisDB so that reporters submitting a new bug are not allowed to change/set the priority of a bug report?

Hi,

I'm not sure about the existence of such an option. Check : http://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en- ... age.config

Maybe you should set the $g_update_bug_threshold to UPDATER / DEVELOPER, depending on your configuration.
Currently working on a wiki-based plugin for MantisBT 2.X. If you'd like to test it, contact me or see the plugin section.
