<title>Legal Values</title>
<para>
Since Bugzilla 2.20 RC1, legal values for Operating Systems, platforms,
bug priorities and severities can be edited from the User Interface
directly. This means that it is no longer required to manually edit
<filename>localconfig</filename>. Starting with Bugzilla 2.23.3, you
can also customize the list of valid resolutions from the same interface.

<section id="edit-values-list">
<title>Viewing/Editing legal values</title>
<para>
Editing legal values requires <quote>admin</quote> privileges.
A link named <quote>Field Values</quote> is visible in your footer and
clicking on it displays the list of fields whose values can be edited.
</para>
<para>
You can add as many legal values as you want, and each value must be
unique (on a per field basis). The sortkey is important to display these
values in the desired order.

<section id="edit-values-delete">
<title>Deleting legal values</title>
<para>
You can also delete legal values, but only if the two following conditions
are respected:
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The value is not used by default for the field.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>No bug is currently using this value.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>
If any of these conditions is not respected, the value cannot be deleted.
The only way to delete these values is to reassign bugs to another value
and to set another value as default for the field.
