71446 - Additional Column

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 9412

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, enhancement)

Description

[chris]

In our company we have been using Bugzilla to track all coding requests.  
Unfortunately, classifying new code requests as "enhancements" has not really 
worked in what we would like to do.  

It would be helpful if there could be a column called "Class" or something 
along those lines which would capture information such as:

1)  New request 
2)  Modification
3)  Bug (error in the behavior of existing code)

I know this conflicts somewhat with Severity, but it does capture information 
that the current version of bugzilla does not.

For example, It is possible to list a Modification as major.  We produce a 
database driven web product.  When there is a significant revision in the 
ERD/Schema the supporting code changes are not "bugs" but modifications of 
existing code to conform to the new schema. 

Our developer hate having everything classified as a "bug" and would prefer 
something that more closely approximates a system change request interface.  I 
believe adding this one hierarchical column would capture this idea.

You aren't the first to suggest that.  The easy fix is to use an "rfe" keyword.
