ok one more thing,
it seems the mathematical operations only occur when the values are being
entered , if i save the wiki and open it again , the operation does not
happen on the stored values i entered in a previous session
so if i set the severity(via radio buttons) to "1" , and the impact to
"2" , i can see the priority as "3"
if i close the wiki and comeback , i find the priority set back to 0 , i
actually also realized that the radio button resets, and does not save what
i have checked in a previous session
is this normal, or am i doing something wrong ?
