Customise as Issue Tracker

Post by rowan.bradley »

I need a system that will work for tracking issues concenred with a new system we are delivering. These issues are (at least at this stage) not bugs, so some features of MantisBT are not really appropriate. To avoid confusing some people, I would like to remove these from the UI if I can. Examples are:
  1. The Reproducability section of the Report Issue screen
  2. The Platform, OS and OS Version section of the Report Issue screen
  3. The Steps to Reproduce section of the Report Issue screen
There will probably be lots more. Can I remove these from the UI? How? I guess I "obviously" can do this by hacking the PHP code, but that means understanding quite fully how the PHP files work, and also it's not easily reversible if I decide that I need to reinstate any of these fields at a later date. It will also make it very difficult to upgrade to a new version of MantisBT.

Just looking for the fastest/best way of achieving what I need.

Thanks - Rowan
