Possible new field?

Post by ajj3085 » Mon Oct 19, 2009 7:06 pm

Hi,

Just was wondering if anyone else would have use of a native Severity field? I think severity would be useful as a seperate field to help determine which issues to address and when. If you don't know how severtity differes from priority, check out this short explaination: http://www.aphids.com/agiletesting/2009 ... ority.html

Thanks
Andy

Thanks... also in addition another field Frequency. That way you can look at Severity and Frequency to help determine Priority.

Thanks again!

I can add a feature request for that as well.

What you might consider is looking at the two customizable fields that are present as well. You should be able to label those two fields for your own purposes.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion, but custom fields won't work for me. The first issue is that both of those should be dropdowns allowing only certain selections; custom fields are free text. The second one is that I'm already using one of the custom fields for something else. :D

While it doesn't handle the "limit to list" abilities of a drop-down, while waiting for the new feature to be released, you could use Tags to help with this.

From the VaultBlog, here is one way to do it: http://vaultblog.sourcegear.com/article ... s-tag-list

Hadn't thought of that, thanks for the suggestion.
