How to link a custom field to a standard field

Post by camominz »

Hello everyone, I am new for Mantisbt
Could you help me please, I want to link my custom field with enum type to the field "production version", is it possible to do that on Mantisbt?
Thank you for your help.

As far as I know, this is not possible in MantisBT — there is no native way to link a custom field to a built-in field like Product Version.

The Product Version (and related fields like Fixed in Version or Target Version) are built-in fields that draw their values dynamically from the project's version list. Custom fields with enum type, on the other hand, use a static list of values that you define manually in the field configuration — there's no built-in way to connect them to the version list. Perhaps someone could write a plugin.

Could you tell me a bit more about what you're trying to achieve? That way, I can suggest whether one of the existing fields might already do the job.
