Re: [mantisbt-dev] Simplify Target Version/Fixed in Version management for 1.3

[P R. <pa...@ma...>]

Wouldn't you want to do this the other way around?

On mantisbt.org for instance, it tends to target 1.3.x

Then when an issue is resolved, have user target the actual (future) version
it's fixed in i.e. 1.3.0, and at that point update the Target version to the
value set for fixed in version.

Or even, update the target version to null at the point fixed in version is
set.

The 2nd case might make more sense - as the target version for bug would
technically cease to exist once a bug had been fixed in a version.

I would prefer this to happen in the core so that it's available to the SOAP
API as well.

I realise that we possibly have one edge case here - users who desire to
have target_version set but fix_in_version empty. However, I hope that's not
really happening in practice.
