Help to a newbee

First of all I need to apologize you for disturbing with a simple question like this.

I need to solve this ASAP, Let me tell you that I am not a developer I don't know anything about coding.

What I need to do sounds simple, but I don't know how to do it.

I want to configure the "Report Issue" Page. There some options/fields that I do not want them to be there like "Severity, Priority etc." And I want to add some custom fields.

I could not find where I can edit this "Report Issue" Page.

Apart from this issue, instead of "Report Issue" I want to make it "Report incident"

How can I do these?

Thx in advance

To create custom fields it is quite easy.

Click on "Manage" on the top bar, Click on Manage Custom Fields, Enter the name of your custom field in the textbox and then click New Custom Field button. Select all of the options for your custom field and click Update Custom Field button on the bottom of the page.

In order to add/delete/edit values in your custom field, just follow the first two steps above and select the custom field to edit from the list.

Hope this helps!

Do you know how I can change the order of the fields?

For instance I want to change places of "Summary" and "Severity"

With current version of MantisBT this can't be done with customization.
You would have to change source code in file bug_report_page.php
There is a plan that MantisBT will support this feature in future versions.

If you go into your mantis>lang directory and open strings_english.txt in a text editor. search for "Report Issue" and change it to what you want... it will properly be there a few times. If you don't know anything about coding and don't want to touch the php files you could potently change some of the fields such as "Severity" to whatever you want this way to... you wont be able to remove them without going into php though. (Just removing the line will give you a error msg as mantis wont be able to find the text.)

This is a quick fix but hope it helps.

Changing files which are delivered as standard from MantisBT is not the best solution.
They are overwritten when updating MantisBT.
Standard fields can be customized the same way like custom fields
