Bug:Maintenance Editor Reported/Resolved By Fields

[Jeff Odell]

I reported the following as a bug to EA.  I'm wondering if anyone else is using this feature and found a workaround:

On any of the Maintenance Panes (Element Defects, Element Changes, Element Issues, Element Tasks), if you hit the new button, the Reported By and Resolved By fields are defaulted to the first name in the list.  Furthermore, they cannot be cleared, so you are forced to have a Resolved By name in the field before anything has been resolved.  This makes the fields unusable.

Would like:

1) The Reported By field to default to the current user, not the first user on the list;

2) The Resolved By field should default to blank; and

3) Both fields to be clear-able by the user.


Anyone have any ideas in the mean time?

TIA - jlo

Do I read item 2) correctly? Do you mean "The Resolved By field should default to blank" instead?

Yes - thanks for catching that - I've corrected the original post.

I hit this too (in EA 6.5).  In order to be able to clear the Completed By field on an Element Issue and prevent it from defaulting to the first person in the list, I added a new Project Author with just a blank space for a name.  On Element Issues, the Raised By field seems to be correctly defaulting to the current user.
