Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

we want to be able to switch off almost all fields for a certain project in Mantis so that only two or three fields are displayed for entering text into.

is this possible or is there maybe a plugin available that would remove fields that we might deem unnecessary and just put in default values for those fields instead?

For example if we have a "Support" project, we might only want a field for the email address of the person who sent in a query, and a second field where somebody would copy&paste in the email text.

We've decided "less is more" - the project only has one category so that doesn't need to be displayed, and we don't want reproducibility, severity, profile etc on... the fewer fields that are available the less likely someone will put in the wrong info.
We only want to limit the number of fields for this one project.

Is this possible? How?

Thanks!

You can limit the number fields to be displayed.
Look at the following settings:
$g_bug_report_page_fields
$g_bug_view_page_fields
$g_bug_update_page_fields
With some smart logic, you can set these to specific values within core/config_inc.php

Thanks for your help.

I found the EasyEnter add-on at https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/EasyEnter which seems to work well for what we need - and the bonus points for using it is that fields can be locked down on a per-project setting which is excellent.
