Renaming Severity

[Jon Drukman]

Is it possible to change the name of the Severity field to something else?  I just want to it to look different on the ticket display page, it doesn't have to change internally.  I can't find the string "Severity" anywhere in the templates directory!

[Jon Drukman]

Anybody?

I don't know how to do this myself... and I don't have a machine handy
on which to try this out... but I wonder if you could use the
localization system to accomplish what you want...

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracL10N

There's already a translation for en_GB... so I don't see why you
couldn't create one for en_US that overrides the default and allows
you to keep the underlying variable... but show a different label. Of
course this would be confusing if you wanted to use things like the
TicketQuery macro with the severity option that you had renamed...
since the name wouldn't match... not sure how much of an issue this
would be.

I believe that you could also do this by implementing a Genshi StreamFilter but I would not know how to go about it. Search the list archives as I seem to remember something similar was discussed a few months back.

If starting off with a new db you could create a custom ticket field named whatever you want, and ignore severity (removing all entries from it which would remove it's usage while entering or viewing tickets).  The queries could be changed without much effort to sort on that custom field.

I would also suggest custom ticket field.

Is it possible to add a custom field to an existing installation?  I don't care if old tickets have it, as long as it's there for new ones.

How do I do it?

You can either use a plugin such as:-

http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/CustomFieldAdminPlugin

...or you can configure them by hand if you have access to the site's trac.ini file:-

Thanks, that was most helpful.  I added the field in trac.ini.  Is there a way to suppress the display of Severity now?

Just delete all values defined for it.

Administration -> Severities:

"You can remove all items from this list to completely hide this field from the user interface."
