mantis: how to show custom field in “enter report details” page

Question

I added a custom field to my Mantis BT installation. However I can't figure out how to get it to show up on the Enter Report Details page or the edit details page. (I was able to figure out how to customize the View Issues page and some other places.)

What do I need to do to be able to edit instances of the new field. Along the same lines, there are existing fields which I would like to hide in the editing views.

Answer 1

You can do this from the Manage Custom Fields page. Click on the custom field and you should see the following options:

• Display When Reporting Issues
• Display When Updating Issues
• Display When Resolving Issues
• Display When Closing Issues
• Required On Report
• Required On Update
• Required On Resolve
• Required On Close

With these options you could control where to display the custom fields.
