317565 - Field values should depend on the current products

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106592

(Bugzilla :: Administration, task)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

When a new product is made default data should be bootstrapped. I.e. with the fields values which are used today, but it should be possible to change the field values for that particular project only.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a product 
2. Customize the fields values for that particular project only

Actual Results:  
Step 2 is not possible.

Expected Results:  
Customizing fields values for that particular project should be possible. An example on this is listed below:

Project 1: Blocker, Major, Minor, Enhancement
Project 2: High, Important, Normal

This feature could be used when different kinds of languages are used for the products and when priority and severity are different between products. Not all products need the same level of severities etc.

This isn't quite true.
Components, versions and target milestones are product-dependent.

That is correct, but what about: Priority and Severity

These two are the primary field values this bug is about.

I'm having a hard time imagining a solution where:

- people cannot agree on a set of values for priority and severity
- the differences between High, Important and Major (as an example) is so big that all three values have to be present.

Add the searching problems this will cause and I don't think this is a great idea. If you believe otherwise, feel free to contribute to bug #106592
