Who sets what¶
An issue carries a handful of labels and fields. The split is simple: facts are yours, judgements are ours — and the Portal never presents your proposal as our decision, or the other way round.
| On the issue | Who sets it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Title & description | You (editable by you afterwards) | The report itself |
| Type — Bug / Feature / Task | You propose on the form; the team confirms | What kind of work this is |
| Priority | You propose; the team sets the final priority | Your proposal tells us how it lands on your side |
| BC version | You | The version you saw the problem on |
| Target date | You (Features only) | When you'd need it — a wish, not a booking |
| Status — Open / Closed | You (your own issues) and the team | Whether work remains |
| Planned for | The team | The release your fix or feature is scheduled into |
The lifecycle, in practice¶
- You report — the issue opens, your organisation can read it, the team is notified.
- We respond — questions and findings arrive in the thread; you get an e-mail per reply.
- It gets scheduled — Planned for shows the release once the work is slotted.
- It ships — the release appears under Releases, with notes.
- It closes — by you when you're satisfied, or by the team with a closing reply. Reopen it if the problem returns; that beats filing a duplicate.
