Redmine

Hi Luigi Suardi,

Some future enhancement descriptions mention enumerations per project, not on global level: see https://twitter.com/dominikras/status/1184152678143791104?s=19 for reference. I'm not 100% certain that the new enhancement in future will cover issue type (aka 'Tracker').

1. Create a number of custom fields that apply to those unique trackers (as global admin)
2. Create a long list of trackers in global administration of Redmine (as global admin) and apply proper custom fields to it
3. When I create a project or edit it's Settings (as project's manager) I select the Trackers that I need there
4. When I create a project or edit it's settings as a manager I add the custom fields that make my selected trackers vary / stand out / make sense in current project's context

You just have to get creative about naming those numerous Trackers. I'm attaching a recent copy of my Trackers to give you an idea.

Also, see another discussion on this forum for a related topic: http://www.redmine.org/boards/1/topics/58120?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Thank you Dominik,

I am using your suggestion as a workaround... it could work. My overall goal is to integrate business logic and actions into the Redmine workflow. Please see attached screen as an example... a quote tracker includes some custom fields, actions and buttons... possibily a button to open a dedicated dialog to work on the quote or communicate with an external CRM application. I would also like to provide custom business logic to be executed when the tracker changes status. Does Redmine plugin system and API allow to implement such integrations? Can you provide some guidelines how to proceed?

Thanks much!
