Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hello,

I found Mantis a few days ago and I think it's a really good tool!

Now I have a question:
I have more than one version for a project. So, now a user make a report of a bug and we want to fix them in several versions. In our bugtracker we don't want to add this problem more than once, because that produces a lot of work, we want only assign that problem to more than one version... Is there a way to do that?

Having an issue per version is a good thing for the following reasons:
- You can track the status of the fix on each version separately.
- The changelog is updated as appropriate. Hence, for each issue you fix, an entry will appear at the change log of the fixed-in-release.
- The fix may be different for each version, and hence, there may be unique discussions about how an issue should be approached in the context of a specific version.
- The timing of applying the fix may be completely different and hence the usefulness of the different statuses.

To avoid the overhead of creating duplicate issues, you can do the following:
- Use the clone functionality.
- Create a skeleton issue that points to the original one. This issue will have the following unique properties: version, fixed-in-version, status, assigned-to.
