What about a field "fixed with" which refers to a version in which this issue is fixed.
E.g. Bug-33 would refer to 4.1.1.
These information could also used for creating (supporting) release notes.

That's a great suggestion. I'll make a note to add that.
Thanks,
Mike

MS Companion doesnt list the actual version.
When entering a bug for MS-C: is it really required to enter "where to buy" (downloaded MS-C from zubersoft.com) or Android version (running MS-C on Win7).

Is bugzilla still being used? I really hope so, because the forums are very awkward for tracking issues. However, when I go to enter a new bug in bugzilla, there is no way to choose MobileSheetsPro as a product, and none of the version numbers for the MobileSheets product are right - they are all between 3.4 and 4.1.6, whereas MobileSheetsPro started from 1.0.x.

TBH, I think Bugzilla is pretty much dead in the water - at least as far as this release is concerned. Maybe, when/if Mike embarks on another major upgrade (depending on how much of a glutton for punishment he is) we could be more organised over the reporting of bugs, etc., as I would agree it has been a little haphazard this time around.

Surely the MSP release is the ideal time to resurrect Bugzilla? Why wait any longer? Based on my ~20 years experience of distributed software projects, tracking bug reports and feature requests via web forums is far less effective than an issue tracker, for many reasons.
(As an amusing aside, I contributed a little bit to the Bugzilla project in the 1990s...)

Mike,
I tried the Bugzilla system for the first time yesterday.
As with all new things/system I felt a bit lost at first, but after quickly discovering that there are ways to customize views (best to do those customizations on pc and not on android I experienced) and to save searches, which then appear just a click away at the bottom of each screen, I rather got to like the system.
More so when this morning (CET) when I discovered I got automatic E-mail from bugzilla as a result of you changing the status of the issues I entered to 'resolved'.
I remember reading somewhere that you wrote it would be an improvement for you if people started to use bugzilla, and now I feel it could also be an improvement for us users.
Two suggestions
- Currently bugzilla related items are scattered all over the forum. Maybe entering a centralised item somewhere where all users could then enter bugzilla related their tips, experiences and questions would help.
As the system grows, a topic on do's and don't's could also appear there if necessary
- In bugzilla itself in the views the field Product always appears truncated so everything shows up as 'Mobilesh' or something. Not possible to make out if it is Pro or Companion or so. . . Maybe it would be possible to change them to MS, MS C, MSPro and MSPro C, (Mobilesheets, Mobilesheets Companion, Mobilesheets Pro and Mobilesheets Pro Companion) or such. Alternatively the Component field could also be used for that as I believe it is currently always 'application'

Mike,
I have been reporting a few bugs here as this is more convenient for me, but would you prefer all bug reports to go to Bugzilla. It's a bit confusing having both places.

Have you noticed any increase in spam after getting a bugzilla account?
