Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time - FogBugz Knowledge Exchange [closed] most recent 30 from http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com 2013-06-20T04:57:48Z http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/feeds/question/6915 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/6915/feature-request-make-release-notes-field-visible-and-editable-all-the-time Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time Ryan McGinty 2011-02-06T04:46:03Z 2012-02-13T19:00:02Z <p><strong>EDIT: As of FogBugz 8.8, you can add release notes at any time.</strong></p> <p>Many times I create a case, and at that time, I already have the release notes in mind. In our last process using StarTeam, we had a custom field for the release notes and I almost always added what I wanted the release note to say when I created the case. I typically only use the release note text and not the case description, so I can create something like "The system now supports X" when I have a case that is "Implement X". It would be beneficial to me to have the release notes link visible at ALL times and not just when an item has been resolved.</p> <blockquote> <p><img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/baf927dcc0b0c5d0f41dece1e575aa0f?s=32&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=PG" alt="Fog Creek"> <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3337/whats-that-kiwi-logo-and-case-number-at-the-bottom-of-my-feature-request-bug-r" rel="nofollow">Case FC1280785</a></p> </blockquote> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/6915/feature-request-make-release-notes-field-visible-and-editable-all-the-time/6935#6935 Answer by db for Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time db 2011-02-07T16:18:01Z 2011-02-07T16:18:01Z <p>We have a case open internally to consider adding this to a future version of FogBugz.</p> <p><strong>Please vote up this question (not this answer) to show your support for this feature request!</strong></p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/6915/feature-request-make-release-notes-field-visible-and-editable-all-the-time/8899#8899 Answer by tdenis for Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time tdenis 2011-08-01T15:13:24Z 2011-08-01T15:13:24Z <p>We use FogBugz extensively and need the ability to edit the Release Notes prior to a case being resolved or closed in order to better coordinate with our internal support and training staff, as well as with our existing customers. We routinely share our Release Notes ahead of the actual release to give our clients the opportunity to become familiar with the functionality and configuration choices. The current Release Notes feature does not support editing prior to resolution of a case which prohibits us from fully utilizing the power of FB!</p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/6915/feature-request-make-release-notes-field-visible-and-editable-all-the-time/9266#9266 Answer by Keith Chadwick for Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time Keith Chadwick 2011-09-22T18:33:35Z 2011-09-22T18:33:35Z <p>This certainly would be a good thing to have available since as a developer we can fill in the release note technical aspects for the release team.</p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/6915/feature-request-make-release-notes-field-visible-and-editable-all-the-time/9351#9351 Answer by David for Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time David 2011-10-05T22:34:25Z 2011-10-05T22:34:25Z <p>Heres a vote from me. The release notes should always be there. You cannot rely on the person to remember what to put there at the time of resolution of the case. </p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/6915/feature-request-make-release-notes-field-visible-and-editable-all-the-time/9377#9377 Answer by Abhishek Bhargava for Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time Abhishek Bhargava 2011-10-12T21:42:49Z 2011-10-12T21:42:49Z <p>Yes, we certainly need the ability to a) See and Edit Release Notes while a case is Active b) See Release Notes filed in a Filter / Bug Listing</p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/6915/feature-request-make-release-notes-field-visible-and-editable-all-the-time/9502#9502 Answer by Lianne Meppelink for Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time Lianne Meppelink 2011-11-09T14:39:28Z 2011-11-09T14:39:28Z <p>I would like to vote too!</p> <p>We are using the Release Notes field after a case is Resolved. Sometimes, a developer would like to add Release Notes before it is Resolved. For example, the Backend Developer is ready, adds the Release Notes, assignes the Active case to a Frontend Developer and the Frontend Developer Resolves the case and adds more Release Notes.</p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/6915/feature-request-make-release-notes-field-visible-and-editable-all-the-time/9542#9542 Answer by Kevin for Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time Kevin 2011-11-15T19:34:54Z 2011-11-15T19:34:54Z <p>Yes, please add this as a feature. It would be much easier to manage the release notes while we are working the case.</p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/6915/feature-request-make-release-notes-field-visible-and-editable-all-the-time/9942#9942 Answer by Amit Kapoor for Feature Request: Make "Release Notes" field visible and editable all the time Amit Kapoor 2012-02-10T06:47:08Z 2012-02-10T06:47:08Z <p>We are also looking for this feature</p>
