Proposal: Keep deleted Issues for Traceabilty / history (and Undo and Trash bin)?

Added by Rolf Lampa almost 12 years ago

Hi all,

It seems to me that when I delete en Issue it will be removed from the system entirely.

As it appears to me when I testet it, also the Activity history is removed for a deleted issue. This is not compatible with the principle of traceability (I'm trying out Redmine for a more traditional manufacturing company with ISO9000 demands on it's documentation principles).

Feature request

What about flipping a flagbit in the Issue telling it that it's now deleted? That way the Activity list could continue recording the states of the Issue (including "Deleted") and one could potentially also enable Undo for deleted Issues. In summary, the following features would then portentially be achievable:

  1. Traceability / history ( System setting: Keep Issues = true )
  2. Undo ( System setting: Keep Issues = true )
  3. Activity log ( System setting: Keep Issues = true )
  4. Trash bin ( System setting: Keep Issues = false )

I understand that keeping deleted issues would require filtering of deleted Issues from all kinds of listings. A quick and dirty solution would perhaps be to put deleted issues into a separate table issues_deleted.

In any case, can I register this proprosal as a feature request, or is that something that only developers do? (I'm a only Delphi guy and lost on Ruby so far).

+1

i would require this feature too. Also Roles and Responsibilities to each issue can be set accordingly.
