Feature Request - Solution for too many projects
After some searching, seems no one has asked this; if this is redundant, I'm sure I will receive the appropriate hand-slap...
The problem: We have a number of projects, some large and some small. Our project list has grown and its become difficult to manage. Besides that, its just plain ugly. (I'm using a wiki to help out now, but 2 documents for one task = issues ) After a while I forget (imagine that) some project details and have to consult "other" document sources.
Over the past year, we have standardized on using FogBugz more for our requirements and work tracking (love the new expanded work items and nested cases). Now, if we can capture more "project" level detail inside FogBugz, we could eliminate another document... (a good thing)
I would like to request 2 added fields for projects:
- Category or TAG Field
- Notes Field
The Category (or TAG) would filter displayed projects. I would prefer to either select the category before seeing the list of projects, or provide a check box, or TAG field, to show the projects with which I am interested. Creating a [deleted] or [closed] tag, for example, would resolve a previous user's feature request, helping to keep closed projects silently tucked away. The ability to have multiple TAG's per project would be way kewl...
The Notes field could be a simple text field (lots of text space desired), or perhaps even a wiki style text field where I can describe this project -- This field would enable me to record WHY and for WHOM this project is being generated, as well as any other pertinent project details.
I believe these fields are in line with the spirit of FogBugz -- clean and simple operation. The world has embraced Stack Overflow and know how tags work to filter content so the learning curve is also reduced. A push in our shop is also to reduce the number of documents we produce to generate a product -- this will be a GREAT help towards that end.
