Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi all,

I have a little issue using MantisConnect,
1) When I use mc_issue_add without a reporter the reporter field is fill with the accounte specified in call of mc_issue_add
2) When I call mc_issue_add with a reporter (name +id or just name) that existe in mantis the reporter field is fill with this user account
3) When I call mc_issue_add with a reporter ( just name) that unexiste in mantis the reporter field is fill with the account specified in call of mc_issue_add

My probleme is with (3) Why I can't submit an issue with un unexisting acount for reporter?
because when I do the same with the plugin to import from CSV I have the reporter field fill with the name set as reporter and write strikeout.

How can I submit issue with a reporter name that unexiste in mantis thanks to MantisConnect?

Thanks in advance for your help
Sorry for my bad english.

The CSV plugin creates new users on the fly if they don't exist.

You can't do this using the SOAP API.
It's a known feature request to create users https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=10349

You might consider to use this patch for it https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/pull/88/files
Use at your own risk, of course you should read all the conversation in PR.
