We'll need some new fields in Bugzilla for recording root causes. They could be added in the upcoming change window at the end of Feburary 2020.

Looks good to me. Could you please add "Poor Architecture" to this list as well? I have added short description for some of these that could be a bit confusing. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FFEGsmoU8T0N8R9kk-MXWptOPtXXXRRIe4vQo3_HgMw/edit

I can, I also saw corner case in the document and will add it.

Now, next question is how soon do you want the field?

  • I can add it as a standard field during the change window on April 18
  • I can add it now, but it'll appear as a program flag in the section with tracking, status, and program flags

If you are talking about a tracking flag of type 'project' then you would not need to wait til a change window to occur. If you are talking about adding a custom field to the bugs table then yes we would need to wait. Could this field be a tracking project flag?

Flags: needinfo?(ehumphries)

Yes, I think this will end up as a project flag.

Could you please share a snapshot of how this would look? Or example of an existing flag that I can relate to would be helpful

Flags: needinfo?(tmaity)

I can't create program flags on dev, but this is what existing program flags look like when you edit a bug.

Slightly better version now that we enabled editing program flags on dev, I couldn't get the dropdown to show.

Here's the new flag as edited. I'm going to set Root Cause to ? for the phase II bugs you listed so there's an easy query for pending bugs.
