All,
we are looking at using Mantis. One of the key differentiator feature is the ability to easily add custom fields.
So I have tried 1.1 dev version, and had a very hard time getting the custom field to work.
I have to add that I am completely new to Mantis.
I have followed documentation and info in some threads, and managed to add an extra field which is unfortunately only visible in the view_all_bug_page page, in the 'Viewing Issues' area.
But, I have not been able to add this field in the csv export, nor in the print view, nor simple or advanced view of issues, nor in the create issue, nor in the columns part of the filter.
If I understood correctly how this works, I need to go in the "Manage Configuration" screen, and add for All Users and All projects (to simplify) an array which includes the new custom field.
The problem is probably the 'configuration option' field. What are the possible values in there? Where to find this? I have not been able to find this information in the document. I have not been able to find the 1.1 documentation either...
Thanks for your help.

Mantis 1.1.0a Dev version : help on custom field management
Moderators: Developer, Contributor
Some extra info. After looking into the code, I realized that custom columns associated to 'All Projects' seem not to be shown in any project...
What I've done to get it to work : I had to modify the code in the bug_view_page.php, line 349, replace :
$t_related_custom_field_ids = custom_field_get_linked_ids( $t_bug->project_id );
by
$t_related_custom_field_ids = custom_field_get_ids();
Looks like something not quite right here...
How do we report bugs, even on dev versions?
