Configure defaults for issue fields
Repository administrators can configure the components, milestones, and versions associated with a project's issues. When creating issues, users select these values from their corresponding dropdown lists. You can specify defaults for each as well. For example, you can configure a General component to use as a default. If a user doesn't choose a component, the system automatically sets the component for the user.
The Bitbucket issue tracker is a light weight feature. If you want a sophisticated work item tracker, you should look into connecting Bitbucket Cloud to Jirausing the Jira DVCS Connector. Atlassian has Jira subscriptions starting at $10.00 a month.
Deleting existing issue configurations
After you create a component, milestone, or version, users can start using them immediately. Later, you can delete a configuration from the issue tracker. For example, you can create an issue component called Oracle and later remove it. When you remove it, Bitbucket does the following:
locates issue's that use it
remove the component type
leaves the issue's component value empty
adds a comment to the issue explaining the change
Bitbucket does the same procedure if you create a milestone or version and later remove them.
Component configuration
You use components to divide project issues into logical groups. Examples of component names:
User Interface
Installer
Documentation
Plugins
Macros
To configure components, do the following:
Go to the repository settings.
Select Issue tracker from the left hand tabs.
Enter the name of the component in the Components section.
Select Add component.
Milestone configuration
A milestone is usually seen as a subset of a version. It is a point that the development team works towards. It corresponds to a short period of time in which the development team implements and delivers a discrete app increment, such as a working milestone release. Examples of milestones:
M1
M2
V1.1.m1
V1.1.m2
The system sorts milestones alphabetically. To add a milestone, do the following:
Go to the repository's settings.
Select Milestones in the left hand navigation.
Enter a version name.
Select Add.
Version configuration
Versions are points in a project or app timeline. For example, in a software development project, a version could be a release number. Versions help you schedule and organize your projects and track where an issue had impact. Examples of versions:
1.0
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
v1.0
v1.1
To configure versions, do the following:
Go to the repository's settings.
Select Versions in the left hand navigation.
Enter a version name.
Select Add.
