Running Bugzilla 2.17.6
In my local installation I have modified the Votes column to become the Time Bug
Open column, but when I tried to change the "Votes" text to "Time Open" I
realised that the column names are replicated in 3 different places.
You have to change the following files to change columns names - it should just
be one file.
/template/en/default/global/field_descs_none.html
buglist.cgi
And they also appear in the fielddefs field in MySQL.

Surely this should just be one change to alter column names ?

Reproducible: Always

Hmm, apparently we didn't already have a bug for this, so I guess this will be
it. :)

But yes, this has been dicussed much already.

The field-descs template should be the ONLY place we have human-readable names.
 The human readable column both in the fielddefs table and the DefineColumns
table in buglist.cgi both need to go away.

Reassigning to nobody only because I'm not specifically working on this right
now...  I might get back to it eventually, but someone else can feel free to
pick it up and run with it before then.

Bugzilla 2.20 feature set is now frozen as of 15 Sept 2004.  Anything flagged
enhancement that hasn't already landed is being pushed out.  If this bug is
otherwise ready to land, we'll handle it on a case-by-case basis, please set the
blocking2.20 flag to '?' if you think it qualifies.
