Re: [platform-dev] What to do with old issues?

[Mike Wilson <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

One addition to this: If the bug was *repeatable* before, and you can still (because the UI hasn't changed too much) repeat the same steps but *not* see it now, mark the bug as *FIXED*, not WORKSFORME/INVALID.  Clearly, the bug used to happen and isn't happening any more, so we FIXED it at some point, even if we don't know when it was.

Absolutely, any bug that is no longer reproducible please feel free to close as either WORKSFORME or INVALID. There is no need to set a target milestone (that is only needed for FIXED bugs). That kind of triage is very helpful since there are many thousand old bugs and only so many active contributors to look at them.

Hi all,

I've spent some time on the history of Platform-UI component looking at some old bugs (with id < 100000) that were reported against 3.0. Many of those reports are not accurate any more, because the suggested improvements or bugs were fixed later but not tracked in those old requests.
What should we do with such issues? Closing as WORKSFORME, INVALID? Should we set a Target Milestone then? If yes, which one (next milestone) ? ...
