Default Assigned To?

Post by eaderrick »

I have multiple projects where I have created a Mantis user that is assigned to a project specific distribution email list. I would like to have the Assigned To field automatically populated with this project specific Mantis users when reporting new issues. How can I make this happen?

Currently on MantisBT Version 2.14.0

Thank,

Check your category confuguration.
There you can assign users to categories, so they will be automatically assigned.

Yes, I see how to use categories to assign a default user. Follow up question. How do I assign a default category to a project?

Assigning a default category is a known feature request but not implemented yet, see https://mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=8582

Wow, a request from 2007! So am I correct in assuming this is not going to happen any time soon then?

And as I am not using categories currently, implementing this to solve the initial problem still results in my users needing to manually select an entry.

Any other suggestions?

You never know when someone starts implenting a new feature.
It all depends on priority and someone who is interested in contributing to the product.
This is a community project where no one is paid for his contributions.

For that you can set

Code: Select all

$g_allow_no_category = ON;
After that we are again where we started.

There are two options to get what you want:
- Change the source code the way you need it
- Write a Mantis plugin
