It would be useful if there were an easy way to add new fields to the bug   
report.  I am looking at what it would take to replace our current DDTS bug   
tracking system  with Bugzilla.  In DDTS, we have different fields basedon the   
product.  Some additional fields we have are:   
   
Detection method: (how the bug was found - list)   
Detected in phase: what phase this version of the product is in when detected   
(i.e. GA, Development, ERG, etc.)   
Reproducability: (Always, sometimes, rare, none)   
Gating: GA, ERG, etc.  What release stage this bug blocks   
Document status: Status of documentation for this bug   
Estimated fix date   
Estimaged fix version   
Software bug caused: (version of software where bug was introduced - not same   
as found)   
Impacts projects: (freeform field)   
   
   
This is just our bug tracking system and I'm sure many companies have their own   
set of fields they use.   
   
Ideally I should be able as administrator to insert fields and specify their  
type to be a checkbox, radio button group, pull-down menu, single line or  
multi-line field.  I should not have to go in and modify a bunch of perl code  
to change the fields.  
 
We also have an enclosure called CM events.  This is used to record all files 
checked in to fix this bug in our version control system.  I.e. in our 
environment, whenever a file is checked in, a valid bug number must be assigned 
and that bug is updated with the name and version of the file that was checked 
in. 

Reproducible: Always




I will attach a couple of screen capture images to give an example of one of 
our bugs.

This is an example of what one of our internal bugs looks like.

This is high on the list of features wanted, but it needs someone to put in a
lot of work to make it happen.
