Extending the number of States

Post by PaulM »

To get a full workflow going I could do with some extra states, (calling them Postponed and Verified for now)

Is it possible to extend the available states (this would also require extending the workflow definition)


If interested the reasons why I'd like to do this are:

It is useful for us to have a state similar to feedback but which indicates that it is waiting until it is in scope (ie postpone for the future).

Also verfication should be done by the submitter on a per 'bug' basis (Verify changes in test) as well as the Release being verified (Verify changes in release), a bug can be 'closed' only once the release is verified, this is particulariy useful if you using Mantis for change managment. A the moment a state doesn't exist to indicate submitter has done some verification.

Thanks
Paul

Yes, it is possible to customise enumerations like status, severity, etc.

Checkout the following page in the manual:
