| Field Values |
| ############ |
| |
| Legal values for the operating system, platform, bug priority and |
| severity, and custom fields of type ``Drop Down`` and |
| ``Multiple-Selection Box`` (see :ref:`custom-fields`), |
| as well as the list of valid bug statuses and resolutions, can be |
| customized from the same interface. You can add, edit, disable, and |
| remove the values that can be used with these fields. |

| Viewing/Editing Legal Values |
| ============================ |
| |
| Editing legal values requires ``admin`` privileges. |
| Select "Field Values" from the Administration page. A list of all |
| fields, both system and Custom, for which legal values |
| can be edited appears. Click a field name to edit its legal values. |
| |
| There is no limit to how many values a field can have, but each value |
| must be unique to that field. The sortkey is important to display these |
| values in the desired order. |
| |
| When the availability of the values of a custom field is controlled |
| by another field, you can select from here which value of the other field |
| must be set for the value of the custom field to appear. |
| |

| |
| Deleting Legal Values |
| ===================== |
| |
| Legal values from Custom Fields can be deleted, but only if the |
| following two conditions are respected: |
| |
| #. The value is not set as the default for the field. |
| |
| #. No bug is currently using this value. |
| |
| 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. |
