The potential problem with new fields, which would be better, would be to make shure that they are accessible with the xmlrpc interface, that I use for my script. The inbuilt Keywords field, which does not appear on the Mandriva 'guided' input page, but does appear on the 'expert' input page, is accessible with the xmlrpc interface. The xmlrpc interface does not seem to automatically have access to all fields. But it is difficult to be shure : the xmlrpc interface of Mandriva bugzilla does not work; and the Mageia bugzilla only has the default fields at present. I think I will have to create a local bugzilla to test that. > Good luck with your script :) Thanks > André -- Frederic
