Making an active task column

Growler · Post by **Growler** » 08 Jan 2006, 16:24

I want to mark tasks that I'm actively working on, but are going to take more than a day to solve. I also need to mark tasks that have issues that need feedback from the customer.

I'm getting bug issues posted that consist of several sub-tasks, and I don't want to spend the time making each one a separate issue. So I might have 6 sub-tasks, and I can resolve 5 of them immediately, the sixth might take several more days.

I put info in the Notes indicateing how much has been fixed. But that requires looking at each issues, and I have around 150 open issues.

So I'd like to add a custom field checkbox 'In Progress" and another "Needs Answer" This will show that the issues is actively being worked on and/or customer feedback is required. However, for that to be usefull, it needs to show as a column in View Issues.

My customer can then easily see what is happening.

It's fairly easy to add custom fields in to the view bug page.

Although I don't have an absolute link for you, look around http://www.futureware.biz/blog/index.php?cat=20 and you should find a blog entry to do it.
