[Topic] Importance / Urgency / other field values rename

Is it possible to rename text that is shown for urgency or importance. For example instead of "Critical" can I put "Essential" or something like that?

Thanks

The fields can be renamed by editing the language file. The easiest way to do it is to copy the "lib/languages/default" file and call it "en".

Then you can edit the "en" file and rename anything you want.

Thanks, that almost worked. When I renamed state, new text is shown when I edit issue details, but old, default values are used for the state in the issues list.

For example I renamed "Open" to "In progress". When I edit and select state the dropdown will have "In progress" instead of "Open". Actually dropdown I can show if I edit an issue in the issues list will have "In progress" as well. However, all issues in the issues list will have "Open" text used as their state.

Is there anything I'm missing? Thanks

States are defined in the database, but there is currently no interface to modify them. In the next release, I'm planning on adding the UI to create/modify/delete states. I'm not sure when that will be though.

can I modify the name of the states in the database? where?

You can modify the state names by editing the record table. Search for records where the type equals 'STATE'. Change the name value and that should do it.

States also have a list of "next states" which would need to be updated as well if you use the progressive state feature. The state table has the next states.

Existing issues that have a state which has been renamed would also need to have their state updated. Those would be the state values in the issue table.

So, it's not totally straight-forward, but doable if you're careful.
