Autofill of a custom field (or else)

Post by benoit.btd »

Hello,

I am actually working with mantis to track our bugs. We use this system to track internal bugs but also to report the bugs that our customer can find (they use their own Bug tracking tool, but for convenience reasons, we use mantis to that we can do our own reports on bugs they can find).

I customized mantis's severities (minor, major, block) and priorities (normal, high, urgent). 'till here, nothing new ;).
For internal use, I have to define a new field which values depends on the severity and the priority of a bug

--> we do not want to manually fill this field. How can mantis do that for me ??? I was wandering if using a custom field + function customization was the solution. How can I do that ?

Thx for all.

Sincerely,
Benoit Bertrand

to have auto-fill...U need to have a function running when the page has finished loading...and that would be using JavaScript.

might have other methods around...but I implemented my suggestion function with JavaScript.
