Hi, I'm new to JTrac, and it looks good for me, pretty simple and functional. I can't see a "delete" button to drop an issue. Sure it's a dumb question but, is there any way to delete an issue? Thank you in advance, Eva. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Delete-issue-tp24584081p24584081.html Sent from the j-trac-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

It's almost always a bad idea to delete records from your tracking database, as you risk losing historical information which may be valuable, as well as accountability (who did what). You open yourself up to the possibility of contributors playing fast and loose with the facts (reducing the bug count artificially, for instance) or covering up mistakes. Certainly it's not a power to be granted anyone except the admin, but, even then, individual users sometimes get ahold of the admin password, and away you go. -Mike |

Hi Mike, I agree with you, and sure people does malicious use of delete, but I think is not a good idea not give people a chance and take it at their own risk. Users must decide themselves and be responsible of their actions, then they can learn from their mistakes. A delete button could be configurable as optional fields or state change are, and let the admin decide if he gives the users that power and what constraints apply (which roles can use it).

Hi Eva, In a tracking system like JTrac, you don't delete an item. Rather you close an item.

So it does not cover the case I do a mistake and really want to delete the issue? Ajit Kumar L (Systems) wrote: > > Hi Eva, > > In a tracking system like JTrac, you don't delete an item.

In such a scenario I normally close the item with a comment indicating that it was created in error. -----Original Message----- From: EVL [mailto:eva...@gm...] Sent: 24 July 2009 01:10PM To: j-t...@li...

But JTrac does support deleting of items: if you are logged in as an admin, you should see a [Delete] button to the top right of an issue once you click on the [Edit] link. I'm not 100% sure if this is available in the 2.1.0 version though, so can you confirm ?

That is what I was looking for. People gets better paid for getting more responsabilities. Let them earn their salaries ;-) And it asks if you are sure about deleting, too.
