Day to due date / Calculated column in View Issues

We are using Mantis 1.3.20. Mantis is configured to show the "due date" as a column on the page "View Issues". Is it possible to add a column "days until due date"? So a column that is not a value from the database, but a calculated value derived from the due date. I could not find a plugin or built-in method to do this. Does anyone know if and how this is possible? I would prefer not to change any Mantis source code, so that upgrading is no issue. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!

It indeed is not available out of the box, but ......you can create your own plugin to add the number of days between brackets when displaying the duedate :mrgreen:

Hello everyone Can anyone explain in detail how to make a calculated field in Mantis using the formula? Preferably with a concrete example. Maybe someone can share the plugin? Thanks for any help.

What do you mean with "the formula"?

Formula is - A+B=C, A - numeric value in the first column, B - numeric value in the second column, C - calculated value in the third column

This is not available out of the box, you need to either create a plugin( :idea: ) or adjust source code( :cry: )
