Ticket Checklists

Ticket Description

In general these things really matter in the description:

  • Reasoning / Rationale. Explain "WHY" it makes sense and is important.

  • How to reproduce. Easy to follow steps, that’s important.

    • Observation: The problem (short)
    • Expectation: How it should be (short)
  • Specs: It is fine to draft them as good as it works.

    If anything is unclear, please ask for a review or help on this via the Community Portal or Slack channel.

Hints

Change Description

It can be tricky to figure out how to change the description of a ticket. There is a very small pencil which has to be clicked once you see the edit form of a ticket.
