5.28. Bug History

Bug history is a feature where MantisBT tracks all modifications that are made to bugs. These include everything starting from its creation, till it is closed. For each change, the bug history will record the time stamp, user who made the change, field that changed, old value, and new value.
Independent of the these settings, MantisBT will always track the changes to a bug and add them to its history.
$g_history_default_visible
Make the bug history visible by default. If this option is not enabled, then the user will have to click on the Bug History link to see the bug history. Default is ON.
$g_history_order
Show bug history entries in ascending or descending order. Default value is 'ASC'.
In this context, MantisBT records individual changes to text fields (Description, Steps to Reproduce, Additional Information as well as Bug Notes). These revisions are controlled by the following settings.
$g_bug_revision_view_threshold
Access level required to view bug history revisions. Defaults to DEVELOPER.

Note

Users can always see revisions for the issues and bugnotes they reported.
$g_bug_revision_drop_threshold
Access level required to drop bug history revisions. Defaults to MANAGER.
