Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi thank you for the previous reply. I have a new question.

There are standard fields such as: Reproducibility, Severity, Priority, Summary, Description , Additional Information etc.
Is there a possibility to remove them through the user interface?
If there are some builts of mantis that have this, is it possible to get them, before the version is released?
Regards

There is no simple way to do this in the current version. It is a planned feature for a future version (ref #4227).

any update on this?

It would be very good to be able to remove some fields from some projects but not others.

For example, I have a hardware defect project and several software defect projects.

For the hardware project, operating system does not apply.

If it is in the works, what version might this type of change be added to, and when is the next version due?

I have removed reproducability since we are using this system more for vulnerability mgmt then bug tracking.

I worte this shell script to do it.

#!/bin/bash

This will remove the feilds and errors you get for not having the feild as well as allow the mantis program still to work. Took a while to fix this. I am also working on a script to move the custom feilds to the top on a new install.

I would also like to be able to remove some fields for some projects. Would be great if it would be in the next version. Anybody knows when the next version is released?

I would love the ability to remove some of these fields as well. Priority and Severity are one in the same for me, so having them both just causes confusion.

Bump, is it still impossible to do this?
