I checked the bug ticket type "Admin -> Types -> "bug", and it wasn't obvious to me where this relationship is expressed. I saw that has the following fields checked:
* Priority * Sprint It also has the following properties: total_remaining_time = sum:get_outgoing.remaining_time If I create a Maintenance type with the same attributes a Bug, and create a Maintenance Backlog with the same attributes as the Bug Backlog (except associated with Maintenance tasks instead of Bug tasks), I still don't get Maintenance tasks appearing in the Maintenance backlog. So, I assume that in the Maintenance type I created, agilo doesn't know that Maintenances can be linked to tasks. How do I specify that Maintenances can be linked to Tasks?
