Re: scarab general questions

Hi,
 
Thank You. I have tried all the below and they seemed to work well. Regarding the issue assignments and responsibilites I have the below question.
 
Suppose I as a project owner created an issue and assigned it to DeveloperA. Let's say 50 developers is working on this project. It very logical that a developer should only be able to modify an issue, only if he is assigned to it. For example, I cannot go and change the properties of an issue if I am not assigned to it. I can only read its information, add comments, but do not change its attributes.
 
Another question, Will a developer receive an email notification when a new issue is assigned to him.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Regards,
Khaled Mahmoud

At the "Global" definition the names must be unique, but i believe
that
at the "Module" definition you can give both issue types and
attributes
a "display name".

Yes. 
maven -Dskip.seed.data=true scarab:create-db
or
ant -Dskip.seed.data=true create-db

All attributes are optional by default.
On the module definition pages you can select them to be "required"
if
you wish. You can also choose them to be conditionally required.
