Assign a bug to more than one person?

Is there a way in Mantis to assign a bug to more than one person? Or maybe have a group of programmers and assign it to that group? I need several people to receive emails when I create a new bug/feature request, but currently I do not see anyway to do that. Please let me know, thanks!

You can setup that when a bug is submitted, all users above a certain threshold are notified (e.g. all MANAGERS). However, you can not assign an issue to multiple users. If you want to assign an issue to a team, then create a "teamA" user with an email alias that forwards to the whole team (i.e. team distribution list / mailing list).

Is that something in a newer version? I'm running v1.06 here. How would I go about having it notify all managers/developers? Everytime we upgrade mantis, we have to reconfig the config php file which is a pain. (which is why we're still running 1.06!) Thanks!

I'm not sure what version it was introduced but in v1.1.1 there is a config file that you can customize that doesn't get overwritten each time you upgrade. It's named config_inc.php. Copy any sections you need to modify from config_defaults_inc.php and paste them in config_inc.php and make your changes there. Anything that is in config_inc.php over-rides what is in config_defaults_inc.php.
Have you read through the config_defaults_inc.php file? The devs have done a very good job of documenting what each option does and provide examples for many of the settings. Yes, I know it's long (~35 printed pages) but it was very helpful when setting up Mantis configurations.
The Mantis Manual also has a section on customizing.

I just had our admin upgrade us to the latest version and got the email notifications working properly. Thanks for all of your help!

Hi
Am able to see the issues reported as private in all the other logins. Whats the difference between the private and public mentioned. I want only the people to whom the issue is assigned should have the access to update the issue. Please assist.
Thanks
