Today, our team once again stumbled upon old bugs being resolved with LATER or REMIND, and it's high likely that we'll forget about them soon again. Both of these non-resolutions tend to get out of sight when mixed into resolved bugs. The Mozilla team itself agreed on removing them [1] for their installation and many other projects have followed since. Using LATER and REMIND is merely a source of confusion.
So also we decided to disable[2] them:
- Administration > Field values > Resolution
- for both values: unchecked property enabled for bugs
But they don't disappear from the user interface for bugs. Is it broken, have I to delete the values instead? What am I doing wrong?
- [1] The discussion has held in 35839 – REMIND and LATER considered harmful to bugzilla.mozilla.org
- [2] deleting them seemed not to be appropriate due to the already existing bugs
Now (after having changed the language from German to English for asking here) I tried it again, and the values aren't available any more. I suffered probably only from a caching effect.
