Bug ID: 413344
Summary: Importance field is unclear
Product: bugs.kde.org
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: sysad...@kde.org
Reporter: chea...@gmail.com
CC: she...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
After filing a ticket, an Importance field displays. For most tickets, its
value is displayed as "NOR normal". It is unclear what that means. Clicking the
link on the Importance label brings to
https://bugs.kde.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance which explains:
> The importance of a bug is described as the combination of its Priority and
> Severity.
Unfortunately, there is nothing more explaining how that combination is done.
One possible interpretation is that the field simply displays together 2 ticket
properties. Unless the definition is very misleading, that would mean that
"NOR" would be the ticket's Priority, and "normal" would be its Severity. The
Priority property is described below:
> Engineers prioritize their bugs using this field.
And Severity is described even lower:
> How severe the bug is, or whether it's an enhancement.
If my understanding is correct, please:
1. Call Importance a computed field, or otherwise make it clear that it does
not display a fundamental ticket property.
2. Specify the Priority field (don't just say what specific people do with it,
but explain what values it contains (what does "NOR", for instance, mean).
If my understanding is correct, I would also recommend just clarifying the
interface (possibly just display these 2 properties in different fields).
