Defect #5633

"Update issue" UI inconsistent after you disable a tracker
0%
Description
Setup¶
- Trackers: Support, Bug, and Feature
- Projects: MyProject
- Custom field: Root cause, only in the Bugs tracker
- Issue: 1234 in the Support tracker
Problem¶
Say I disable the Support tracker for MyProject. If I click on "Update" at the top, then "(More)" by Change Properties, the options for Tracker only shows "Bug" and "Feature", defaulted to "Bug". But my custom field, "Root cause", does not display. I have to first change the Tracker to "Feature", and back to "Bug", before it will show.
For me, "Root cause" is not required. I would guess that requiring it would result in an error if I just click "Submit". I would also imagine that in setups with only two trackers, my workaround (click on another) won't be available, so a user might get stuck on that screen unable to submit.

I think, there are basically two alternatives for solving this:
- On disabling of a tracker, force the user to move issues to another tracker
- Allow issue updates without forcing a tracker change.
Note that this tracker change is as of today only done for users with edit_issues permission. I would propose to include a disabled-but-selected tracker into the tracker list for existing issues, but not for new ones (also in the issue move form). That way, it is clear for the user, that she has to decide to move it.

This seems to be fixed in some version.
