Description
"Add Filter" Dropdown List¶
Many of our users would like to see the fields under the "Add Filter" dropdown to be sorted or sort-able.
- Table of contents
- "Add Filter" Dropdown List
Now¶
Currently, it looks like that dropdown is ordered by:- Standard Fields
- Issue Custom Fields
- Project Custom Fields
- User Custom Fields
- Issue Relations
or so...
And these categories are then further sorted and placed in the same order as it is shown in the admin panel for each respective category.
Problem¶
The problem with this is that once we have a lot of custom fields (>~40), the list is extremely hard for most users to use.
Most users are not familiar with the various custom fields and get l
Most users do not understand the way the list is set up, and it doesn't help that there aren't any separations between different categories of fields/filters.
Proposal¶
I propose that the dropdown list be sort-able in some fashion.
Whether or not it is sorted as a whole list or sorted in their respective sections/categories does not matter as long as the sections/categories have some sort of separation.
- have different dropdowns for these categories and sort within their categories.
- have a single dropdown (as it is now) and sort the entire list.
- have a single dropdown and have the standard issue fields near the top with a separator and then sort the rest of the list below.
- have a single dropdown and have some sort of separator between each of the categories and then sort within their respective categories.
This is one of our biggest and most common complaint from the end-user group.
