Custom fields in issue list

web-app

Way back early last year I posted an issue with this title in you Gemini system (http://gemini.countersoft.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=1515&PROJID=2) and was happy to hear that version 3 would resolve the issue of not being able to display custom fields in multi-project issue listings.

We're finally(!) on the point of migrating to v3 (in fact, v3.5.4) so, having merged my multiple custom fields from multiple projects into single custom fields used by multiple projects I tried displaying them in multi-project issue lists. I was dismayed to find that when I:

  • Selected multiple projects
  • Customised my view and added a custom field
  • Saved the custom view
the issue list automatically reverted to a single project and, as soon as I selected multiple projects, the custom field(s) disappeared from the listing.

Looking at the database, I can see that the gemini_userissuesviews table has projectid as a column which clearly means that only one project can be associated with each issue view. Is that the case or is there some trick I'm missing to allow this to work?

Cheers,
Nigel.

Please check the field visibility scheme that is used as default by Gemini under the Administration -> General of security setting page. It is likely that the scheme does not allow you to view these fields.

I'm not sure about the custom fields, but I know that if I save a view when I have no individual project selected, the projectid field of the rows created is NULL

Hmm, not sure what I was doing yesterday, but it works fine now. I obviously needed a break from developing my migration script...

Agreed, alitheg, if you go to "All projects issue reporting" and create a view, the projectid is NULL but you can also create a customised view when in a specific project which has that projectid stored in the views table even if the project is deselected in the listbox on the left. This is then invoked when you go to that project and is subsequently retained even if you then select multiple projects in the listbox - even if it didn't do so for me yesterday ;-)

Thanks,
Nigel.

That might be worth reporting on http://gemini.countersoft.com

It probably shouldn't retain that setting like that.

Yup, it helps to take a break from migration scripts - I've just about finished ours!

Possibly, but then one person's bug is another's feature!

Think I'll see what the users make of it...
