Description Regina Henschel 2008-05-03 11:25:31 UTC 
If you report a new issue you get tons of versions in the drop down list, most
of them outdated, for exapmle in component word processor more than 300. But no
one will report an issue for a "version 605" for example.

My suggestens: Remove all entries which name a developer version for which the
final release already exists. This does not mean to change the database, but
only the form for _new_ issues. If there is the need for an issue against such
an old version, it can be written in the description and assigned later on.

Confirm.
Comment 2 merschmann 2008-05-04 21:07:32 UTC 
As this is a kind of opposite to issue 88593 I reassign this also to fma
Comment 3 hans_werner67 2008-05-05 08:56:48 UTC 
In my eyes a valid argument. Martin please take over, thx.

Also see issue 78883, where Collabnet claims that this would be possible by setting role-dependent filter 
options.
Comment 7 Martin Hollmichel 2009-08-12 07:35:55 UTC 
@hdu: issue 78883 speaks of project tracker which we probably never are able to
migrate to.

I have no idea how to fix this with the current available infrastructure, so
setting this to wontfix.

@mh:
Just because you don't know how to make the change does not seem like a good
reason to WONTFIX the issue. Maybe someone else knows how. Maybe a feature
request needs to be filed with Bugzilla (this seems to be a bugzilla
fork/clone). But WONTFIX is not the answer.
Comment 9 Martin Hollmichel 2009-08-12 21:06:45 UTC 
@dotancohen:

The Bugzilla Clone is not longer maintained by collab.net. the successor is
project tracker.

if someone else have a patch for bugzilla and is convincing collab.net to update
the bugzilla instance within the collab.net framework he might reopen this issue.
