Can we customize fields in Bugzilla?

Yes, you can customize fields in Bugzilla. Bugzilla has a feature that allows administrators to add custom fields to bugs, which can be used to capture additional information specific to your project or organization.

To add a custom field, you need to log in to Bugzilla as an administrator and go to the "Custom Fields" link in the footer of the page. From there, you can add a new field, specifying its name, description, type, and other attributes.

There are several types of custom fields available, including:

  • Free text : A single line box for entering free text.
  • Large text box : A multiple line box for entering free text.
  • Drop down : A list box where only one option can be selected.
  • Multiple-selection box : A list box where multiple options can be selected.
  • Date/Time : A date field.
  • Bug ID : A field where you can enter the ID of another bug from the same Bugzilla installation.

Once you have created a custom field, it can be used like any other field in Bugzilla. You can set its value when creating or editing a bug, and you can use it to search for bugs.

In addition to custom fields, Bugzilla also allows you to customize other aspects of the bug tracking system, such as the workflow, email notifications, and user permissions.
