An idea to improve Custom Fields (List and Key/Value List)
Added by Jose Manuel Vela almost 6 years ago
First the normal procedure:
1. Create a list or Key/Value List with for example elements:
"Value 1"
"Value 2"
"Value 3"
2. Then enable "Multiple values"
3. Select Display checkboxes
What you get when u create / edit the issue is the list with format:
[] Value 1
[] Value 2
[] Value 3
As you can see the default value for each checkbox is always "NO/False"
Improvement 1:
Sometimes if the list is long and the typical value is "Yes/True" or any other combination takes a lot for the users to select everything for the first time....
Would be really nice that when u create/edit the custom field you could set default value for each checkbox (YES/NO) this way when you create an issue you could directly get something like this:
[*] Value 1
[*] Value 2
[*] Value 3
Improvement 2:
what about if you add a more complex "display" ¿? now you can select dropdown list or checkboxes.
Imagine that you have a issue like fix problem "x"... In your department there are more Projets that could have this problem... some of them u are sure that has this bug but the rest.... you don't know.... so you create a "custom display" with options "YES/NO/TBC" and you could have something like this:
[YES] Value 1
[NO] Value 2
[TBC] Value 3
Probably the second improvement is more difficult.... but number one... I think is nearly a must !!
Will wait for news !
Many thanks !!
