You can add, edit, disable, and +remove the values that can be used with these fields. + +.. _edit-values-list: + +Viewing/Editing Legal Values +============================ + +Editing legal values requires ``admin`` privileges. +Select "Field Values" from the Administration page. A list of all +fields, both system and Custom, for which legal values +can be edited appears. Click a field name to edit its legal values. + +There is no limit to how many values a field can have, but each value +must be unique to that field. The sortkey is important to display these +values in the desired order. + +When the availability of the values of a custom field is controlled +by another field, you can select from here which value of the other field +must be set for the value of the custom field to appear. + +.. _edit-values-delete: + +Deleting Legal Values +===================== + +Legal values from Custom Fields can be deleted, but only if the +following two conditions are respected: + +#. The value is not set as the default for the field. + +#. No bug is currently using this value. + +If any of these conditions is not respected, the value cannot be deleted. +The only way to delete these values is to reassign bugs to another value +and to set another value as default for the field. |
