Admin - how to modify Issue Summary field?
Posted: 24 Mar 2005, 09:52

Someone has entered a very brief and uninformative Summary.
It's important that useful text appears in the top-level listing.
As Admin, how can I 'correct' this field ? (short of editing via MySQL ...)

Hi mikewhit:
You should just be able to view the issue and click the Update button. That will let you edit the issue (summary text, specifically in your case) and save the changes.
If this isn't working, then please let us know...
Misunderstood 'update'

Sorry, yes, you're right - the Update does as you say.
I was mistakenly assuming that Update would trigger an 'update' with form data on that page, rather than changing to an 'Update' page.
RTFM ? But adding tooltip help would assist when wording on a button was not sufficiently explicit ...
Thx.
Update / Pencil Icon Change

I am in same boat as previous poster. I use web apps all day and night, build em, break em and use em.
The pencil icon is historically used for EDIT (this content item)
The term UPDATE is usually reserved for other actions and is easily confused with software update, or version update, etc.
I suggest you consider using the word EDIT in all instances of changing something, pencil icon is also good.
Put SAVE at bottom of detail view and leave update for other actions.

Mikewhit, I would recommend going into your /lang folder, opening strings_english.txt, and changing this line:
Code: Select all
$s_update_bug_button = 'Update Issue';
to this:
Code: Select all
$s_update_bug_button = 'Edit Issue';
Or whatever wording suits you best. I made this change myself :)
