FalcoGer Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 The bug tracking in this forum is horrible. It's managed purely by tags and searching for anything being reported already is nearly impossible as every bug report uses different wording. You can not filter for reports that have specific tags (such as resolved) and any duplicates are not linked together so information isn't collected but strewn about and the forum topics get blown up instead of relevant information being merged into one thread. There needs to be a better system. Ideally - 1 issue = 1 thread. Multiple reports of the same thing get merged in. - multiple tags on: what is affected, if and when it was fixed and state of the fix (won't fix, correct as is (TM pending), fixed, investigating, needs information, etc) - search by tags and text, allow filters by tags (ie. filter out fixed) - internally linked to version control to allow working on specific issues and creating test cases to prevent regression (I hope you do use version control and unit tests...) This will allow better experience for everyone involved. People reporting bugs can easily find if their issue exists already by searching for the affected system (for example tags "TWS" "F-18" not:"fixed"). It will also allow users to keep track of the state of bugs better. And the developers can create pull requests directly linked to the issues they are supposed to fix and work down a list of issues. 3
