The "Issue Submission Form Description" is outdated

There is a number of references to the handbook page, and this handbook page only covers Project, Component, Assigned, Category, Priority and Status

Status is dynamic and can be changed per module, and is changed through out the different issue queue's. Status is also covered in the pages that are linked to it... Let me quote the current status data:

Status definition:
The state, condition, class or current value of an Issue that describes a major stage in the document's life-cycle, and concerns. Each Drupal.org issue has a status assigned so that we can tell at a glance what progress has been made with each issue. See also Status levels of issues. The documentation issue reports page explains how the documentation queue uses statuses.

The last change to this was January 2009.

The only thing not covered is version, which is not universal.

When filing The current Document Issue the following line is included, on the bottom of the Edit Issue Settings Page:

The Issue Submission form is changing. Within the past few weeks, versions where removed... The document remains accurate by leaving out versions in its definition. Version is also pretty self descriptive. It could be added.

I will add a reference to tag... I dont think we need to include input format or File Attachments.

Just a note: Only some kind of a super-admin can edit this page (I have doc admin priveleges and I cannot edit http://drupal.org/node/314328).

My suggestions for updates, if someone who has permission can edit it:

a) More current screen shot of the form. Things have changed!!

b) Change

So the first thing you will see when creating a new issue or responding to an existing issue is this form below:

to:
When you [link to http://drupal.org/node/add/project-issue] Create a new issue [end of link], the first thing you will need to do is to choose the Project it belongs to, and click "Next". Then you will see a form similar to this, depending on the project you choose:
(new screen shot)

c) Updates to the fields table:

- Generally: this looks like it's oriented mainly towards reporting issues on documentation and drupal.org, but I don't think it should be, based on the placement of this page in the handbook?

- Projects - When creating a new issue, this is NOT a drop-down list (you have already chosen the project). Also, when editing an existing issue, it's a type-ahead text box, not a drop-down list. So instead of saying it is a "List field", it should probably say "Text field with type-ahead suggestions when editing an existing issue; not editable when creating a new issue".

- Version field is missing (applies to most projects, though not doc)

- Category: "tasks" should be "task", and "support requests" should be "support request"

- Status options are not up to date

- Tags section is missing

- Attach file section is missing

jhodgdon I would also be willing to work on this page, we need to talk to add1sun or someone to lower permissions on this page. There is allot of images and I think the settings reflect the associated issues with this?

Tagging as "locked to admins" to remind us why we aren't working on this issue

page has been changed to doc format. have at.

Removing tag since add1sun has unlocked the page (thanks!)

I finally got around to cleaning up this page. I also reorganized the Issue Queue http://drupal.org/node/317 section and the Reporting a Problem section http://drupal.org/node/314185 outlines a bit. Hopefully they make more sense now.
