--- ** [tickets:#4936] Project upgrade discarded ticket 'resolution' values [ss541]** **Status:** closed **Milestone:** v1.0.0 **Labels:** support p3 migration 42cc **Created:** Thu Sep 13, 2012 07:16 PM UTC by Chris Tsai **Last Updated:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 10:07 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody [forge:site-support:#541] >The SF2 Tickets tool seems to try to combine the functions of the separate >'status' and 'resolution' fields of the old SF1 Trackers into a single >'status' field. There are very good reasons to keep 'resolution' and 'status' >separate when tracking bugs and feature requests, and that is how Bugzilla >does it too. >I understand that I can use the custom field function to add Resolution to all >my ticket tools, with a menu of values. And I discovered that if I enable >"Show in search" for that field, then the new field shows in the ticket >listing. ([Undocumented >feature?](https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Tracker%20-%20Beta/)) >The problem is that when the SF1 tracker data was upgraded to the SF2 tickets >tool, all the 'resolution' values were apparently discarded. For >record-keeping purposes, this is a big deal, as there is no way to determine >how a ticket was resolved except what you can glean from the comments. For >example, [this old bug report](https://sourceforge.net/p/phplot/bugs/19/) has >status=Closed but doesn't say why. From my pre-upgrade XML backup, I can see >the resolution was 101=Duplicate. >(While I am complaining about Tracker to Tickets migration, it would have been >nice to have a populated "old ID" field, so when my NEWS or ChangeLog says >"fixed bug #1234567", I had some way of finding the new ticket for it, other >than searching by summary.) Perhaps we should add each resolution that's used to "Closed Statuses" during migration? --- Sent from forge-allura.apache.org because dev@allura.apache.org is subscribed to https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/admin/tickets/options.
