I think this is a good idea.

However in order to implement this feature I think it is necessary to refactor part of the Settings screen. For example, the Issues Categories tab is linked from the Issues screen button, but that is not the only setting related to issues. The Information tab's Trackers and Custom Fields are also settings related to issues. I think we should remove the Issue Categories tab, create a new tab that organizes all the settings related to issues, and link to that.

Thank you for your feedback.

I agree that this would be an improvement to the settings screen, but in the spirit of keeping patches small and self-contained, I would not make this a requirement for this issue, rather than a separate new issue that can be discussed on, implemented and released individually.

I agree with Go MAEDA that this is a good idea to make the settings views more accessible.

• I miss a similar settings link in the versions/show view.
• I agree with Go MAEDA again regarding the settings views in relation to the settings link in the issues views, but I also agree with Jan's response given in note-5 (it shouldn't be a blocking issue).

Another approach (which drastically cuts down the amount of views to be modified) to achieve a similar goal could be to add sub-menu items on the settings project menu item for these links, although such is less obvious than the proposed approach which provides a specialized settings link for most of the project modules views individually. What do you think?
