Question

EDIT: As of FogBugz 8.8, you can add release notes at any time.

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.

Case FC1280785

Answer 1

We have a case open internally to consider adding this to a future version of FogBugz.

Please vote up this question (not this answer) to show your support for this feature request!

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

I would like to vote too!

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.

Answer 7

Yes, please add this as a feature. It would be much easier to manage the release notes while we are working the case.

Answer 8

We are also looking for this feature
