Mantis - Add version field

Question

Is it possible to have a version number for each defect/issue raised in Mantis and track its value during the lifetime of the defect?

e.g v0.1 - Issue reported v0.2 - Issue assigned v0.5 - Issue resolved v0.6 - Issue closed

I have never used custom fields in Mantis - can they be employed for such a purpose?

UPDATE:

In the meantime, I found these references:

1. Custom Fields
2. Manage Custom Fields

Answer 1

There are 3 version fields in MantisBT 1.2

• Product Version - in which version does the issue occur
• Target Version - when the issue is expected to be fixed (i.e. roadmap)
• Fixed in Version - when the issue was actually fixed (i.e. changelog)

Not sure if this is really what you are asking for.

Also note that each change to any field is tracked in a history record which provides a full audit of changes made throughout the issues' lifecycle.
