Excel export and custom fields

Post by Areso »

Hello.
When I try apply our business requiements at Mantis, I create a couple of custom fields, "initial time estimate" and "current time estimate".
Now, I can view these fields, when I create issue and solve/close, that's all OK.
In excel_xml_export.php I saw several strings about custom columns, but if I doing export to excel, I have no see custom columns or data.
And, I have successfully set up time tracking, via manual and wiki-page issue 4428. It's possible, export this data (time tracking) to excel?

I was unable to find this "manual and wiki-page issue 4428". Can you please link them to me? I have been facing problems installing the Time Tracking plug in. (it shows no data when I click on "get tracking information" button.)

Hmmmmm...

My Mantis is 1.2.5 and isn't storing any information inside the "time_tracking" column from the bug table.

Any tips why is that happening? Maybe I forgot to setup some variable to force Mantis to store data into this column... Can I update my old logs "time_tracking" using perhaps the created/updated dates?

Thanks a lot for the help!

I never used the timetracking functionality in MantisBT core or the time tracking plugin.
I hope mykbaker who is contributing to the development of the time tracking plugin will be able to help you.
