The whiteboard holds freeform text, and can be used similarly to bugster's keywords (whereas bugzilla keywords are a predefined entity that people with appropriate privilege have to create for you). > - Is there an equivalent to "see also"?

The behaviour of See Also sure would be nice though. > - In the bug view: What is "Alias"? A convenient name referring to that bug. > - Can I effect the columns in the list view?

Not that I'm aware of, it tracks defects, not customers. (and, if you think about it, tracking customers would make things problematic for opensolaris, since we'd have a call record field that Sun people mustn't ever use). -- Rich _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
