Redmine

Hi, what's stopping you to write comment "done" in the right time?
Adding functionality to add note "done" when task is in cca 50% doesnt make so much sense.
Anyway, when you change ticket state, there is always automatic note on change state in comments history, so it's practically whar you want, isn't it?

• Status changed from New to Resolved

But when you only solved 50% of an issue, how do you tell someone who newly reads the issue, which 50% are solved, and witch needs to be worked on?

I idea was to say: "You don't have to read and understand comment #1, because it is already fixed. But you need to read comment #2 and #3 to solve the last 50%".

Does it now make more sense ;-)?

I guess I understand... actually you are suggesting something like "subtasking"... IMHO it's much more better to stick to current sollution, so you create three independent issues, which you can link by dependencies, category or so. Implementing logic you are sugesting will create much complicated logic - you will understand this logic well, but for most of users it will became overcomplicated.

One of best things on Redmine is, that it's really straightforward and self-explaining application, so almost everybody will understand how it works without any fat books etc... it this way (and in lot of other ways ;) Redmine really rocks!

Optionnaly, you can also edit the note and add something like this:

DONE
