Could you please explain me, why (started/changed in some previous versions of redmine) “issue” column has been changed and consists of joint information of "tracker", "task ID", and "task subject"?

What version do you mean as some previous versions?
There is no change from Redmine 1.4.

Hi,

thanks again!

We used redmine 1.2 before 3.3.x version. The spent time details view was as explained above there, the same was CSV export...

thx
jb

could you please try to export CSV and check the result? Are the tracker, ID and Issue subject separated "columns"?
thanks a lot

I've been reading along and started digging the code of the 'spent time details view' when the TS explicitly expressed that this is scoped to the CSV export of that view only. I was able to trace this change in the CSV export to r11442, which was introduced first in Redmine 2.3.0.
Before r11442, the CSV export contained three individual columns (id, tracker and subject), whereas post r11442, the query columns are being used instead, which results in the fact that only one column is presented which includes a concatenation of the id, tracker and subject.

OK, thanks a lot...I probably wrongly expected that export was the same as the view in web UI, please let me aplogozie myself.
The fact is we were used to sort/filter/list by these three different values. We used CSV export and Excel for doing that in the past.

When we upgraded redmine the filter function in spent time details view was included(for web UI). So we've started using this great feature.
We still need to sort and filter(two different things) as well. Because it wasn't possible nor in the UI and nor in the CSV export we had to add custom fileds for trackers and others and duplicate this information there each time spent time entry was/is created, to be able to filter and sort by these values.

I believe there are two different issues then:
1. CSV export concatenates of the id, tracker and subject
2. web UI spent time details filter doesn't allows to filter/sort by the id, tracker and subject(as the attributes are concentated together in one field)

ad1) We know now there was change in the code for CSV export, but not sure if this was done on purpose...?
ad2) Is there any practical reason for not showing the ID, tracker and subjecct in spent time separatedly? If not I believe it would make sense and many users could benefit from separation of these attributes/values in web UI spent time details view.

Thanks a lot again for all the effort.
Kind regards
JB

Dears,

I hope you are all doing great!

Is there any update on this please?

I also believe this is related to the most recent version of redmine... not just to 2.3.0 as statet in issue atributes. This may lead to ignoring this issue.

Thanks lot
Kind regards
J.

I have to confirm this is not an issue in the latest stable version 4.0.3 anymore.
Thanks a lot!
