153811 - default severity should be parametrized

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Administration, task)

Description

[Sean Daley]

I apologize if this has been submitted before.
I searched the database and found some items close to it (which I will reference)
but nothing completely like it.

When doing a clean BugZilla installation, running checksetup creates a localconfig
file that you can modify at your hearts content.  One of the items in here that
appears to be modifiable is severity.  I changed the severities to put them more
in line with what my company uses.  Unfortunately now when I try to enter a bug
it complains about potential data corruption.  The culprit seems to be with

enter_bug.cgi
Version 2.14.2 approximate line 234
You make the popup box for severity but normal is hard-coded as the default.
If you've modified the severities in your localconfig, this may not be the case
anymore.  It might be better if you allow default severity to be set up in
the parameters also.

This bug is probably related and/or could be resolved with (bug 107886)

If we do bug 146104, one of the things that could allow would be selection of
the default from a list.

Adds a default severity. This is *identical* do default priority.
