Re: Mantis: custom field not filtering right when searching on view issues page

Hi KM,

 

Could you send a screentshot of the custom field configuration so it's clear
what you've got set up? (I can then try to reproduce at this end more
easily)

 

In addition, are you saying you think that the behaviour has changed due to
updating, or that the configuration of the custom field options has changed?

 

In terms of pipes, I might be wrong as I've not looked at the code, but I
think there may have been a change to strip trailing |'s

Subject: [mantisbt-help] Mantis: custom field not filtering right when
searching on view issues page

 

All

I have a custom field that was defined for years.  We recently upgraded from
1.1.7 to 1.2.17.  We thought everything was fine but it seems it is not.  We
have a field that we use to designate the tester.  it is just an enumeration
with a list of names and blank.  Nothing fancy.   however if we select any
name the results are always 0.  if we choose "[any]" it is fine, and blank
is fine.

 

Then I realized that the field used to be a multi-selection list.   After
the conversion to the new mantis version I changed that field to an
enumeration to allow only one selection.  the database values were
originally saved with pipes... e.g.  "|myid|". ... which I think should be
just "myid" right?  ... in either case. I could see if there were two values
then it should be "myid|yourid" or something maybe.  Not really sure how
they are kept.

 

So for now I have changed 3 of my fields back to multi-selection lists so
the filters work.  Is there some sort of easy way for me to fix this?  I
guess I could edit the DB directly.  

 

Also - my other question -- should the field have pipes in it?  what about
enumeration fields?  Because the other thing I noticed while doublechecking
data after the conversion - some fields had pipes and some did not, even for
the same custom defined field.  

 

Thanks

KM
