Displaying custom fields

Post by dapissarenko »

Hello!

In Mantis 1.0.7 I have created two float fields - expectedEffort and actualEffort.

I want these two fields to be displayed in my reports (View Issues).

How can I do that?

TIA

You need to add them into one or more project (do it in the project manage page).

I've already done that. But they still aren't displayed in "View issues".

What else can I do?

TIA

So check in the custom field configuration, you probably forgot to select some checkbox.

Which one exactly?

Here is the configuration as it is at the moment:

Change Read/Write access, only administrator can see it/change it.

I changed read/write access to "viewer", but it still doesn't work.

See http://dapissarenko.com/resources/2007_ ... antis2.png

Did I misunderstand you?

I think you are referring to the View Issues table rather than the filter. If this is the case, then you will find the answer on the following Wiki page:

On that page, following is written:
# Click “Manage” from Main Menu.
# Click “Manage Configuration” from “Manage” sub-menu.
# “Configuration Report” will be selected by default.
In Mantis 1.0.7, when I go (as administrator) to "Manage" -> "Manage Configuration", I see following items:

*) Permissions Report
*) Workflow Thresholds
*) Workflow Transitions
*) Email Notifications

But I don't see the "configuration report" item.

What can I try next?

This was added in the 1.1.0x releases. I believe that this article has a part that says that if you are using pre-1.1 releases read another article that it refers to.

Hello again!

I upgraded to Mantis 1.1.0a3 and used information at

http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/m ... ssues_page

to configure custom fields display.

Now the custom fields are displayed, but incorrectly. Instead of their values, this is printed:

@expectedEffort@ @actualEffort@

How can I fix this error?

Thanks in advance

Dmitri Pissarenko

P. S.: I entered following stuff in configuration options:

array ('selection',
'edit',
'priority',
'id',
'sponsorship_total',
'bugnotes_count',
'attachment',
'category',
'severity',
'status',
'last_updated',
'expectedEffort',
'actualEffort',
'summary');
