Change Default Field name in Bugzilla

[Kapila Kohli]

Hi,

I have a requirement where i have to rename Field Value- "Severity" to some
other name.
Is it possible doing? Have seen the code its mentioned at several places.
Changing in Code & DB is a high risk .
Is there any solution to it?

Regards
Kapila

Bugzilla is designed for this type of change, although not perfectly.
You must also then change the name in several template files. I just
did a search (for 'everity', to catch string '<u>S</u>everity') in
Bugzilla 3.2 and found files that need to be changed. Not all files in
the search need to be changed, just 14 of the 22 that contain
"Severity". FYI, the field name is bug_severity, and that should not be
changed.

For Bugzilla 3.2
http://mxr.mozilla.org/bugzilla3.2/search?string=Severity&case=on&find=%
2F&findi=&filter=^[^\0]*%24&hitlimit=&tree=bugzilla3.2

Here is a good list of changes to start with:
/Bugzilla/Field.pm (View CVS log or CVS annotations)
* line 147 -- {name => 'bug_severity', desc => 'Severity',
in_new_bugmail => 1},

/template/en/default/pages/fields.html.tmpl
* line 211 -- its <a href="#priority">priority</a> and <a
href="#bug_severity">severity</a>,

* line 125 -- <td><tt>severity</tt></td>

Thanks Michael.
It worked by changing in files below. But have a query.-
I have to add new custom field for Severity (S0,S1 etc) for other
requirement. Which is easy. But was wondering
This rename of Severity is in source ,but nothing changed in DB. where is
table "fielddefs" has code - bug_severity to Severity.

1) Should i change there too?
2)change bug_severity also ?

Any help is appreciated.

Bugzilla/Field.pm: {name => 'bug_severity', desc => 'Severity',
in_new_bugmail => 1},
Bugzilla/User.pm: 'Severity' => EVT_PROJ_MANAGEMENT,
template/en/default/bug/create/create-guided.html.tmpl: <b>Severity</b>
template/en/default/bug/create/create.html.tmpl: [% sel = { description

=> 'Severity', name => 'bug_severity' } %]

severity %]

I wouldn't change anything in the database for now unless you see a problem while using Bugzilla tool. The localization should be limited to editing templates only.
