Description Jesse Glick 2010-05-06 13:51:43 UTC
See query in URL: 203 issues have some random text entered in the "Exception Reporter" field. (*) Clearly people are confused by what this means; often they write their name or part of the exception class name.

Either this field should be hidden entirely during bug entry, or it should be renamed (or have a hint appended) telling people to leave it blank, or there should be field validation restricting it to numbers.


(*) Should I go ahead and do a batch bug update to clear this field in all of the issues mentioned in the query?
