Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi,

I'm currently reviewing Mantis. One of the requirements is to customize the status of projects and issues.

What I need to know is:

• 1) Are there any limitations for customizing the Status, e.g. does Mantis require some of the values for internal functions (eg "new" and/or "resolved") ?
  2) Does Mantis have a default work-flow which relies on some values for Status? (possibly this is the same question, but in other words)

Last question which is only partly related to the ones above:

I want to add a status which allows a "Tester" to approve a change before it wents to production
Can I limit the access of a "Tester" to an Issue/Task/Change to only setting the item to a certain status, let say "approved" in this case?

Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Sorry forgot to mention the environment which is:
Mantis 1.0.1, WinXP, MySQL 5.0.33, PHP 5.2.1

Take a look here:

I think this issue..
"Can I limit the access of a "Tester" to an Issue/Task/Change to only setting the item to a certain status, let say "approved" in this case? "

is not solved by the reference you received as an answer. Have you found anything regarding this matter? I have precisely the same problem....

Thanks!
