Summary0006581: Summary vs. Change Log entry
Description

When using the change log feature of mantis, I have the need to revise the bug summary quite often when I resolved the issue so the entry in the change log is very expressive for the users reading the change log. Probably this should be a completely different field based on the content of the summary because a descriptive issue summary would be something like "notification doesn't work", while the change log entry could be something like "Notification fixed for users using Firefox" for example.
So it would be nice if such a changelog info could be entered when resolving the issue and if it would be independent from the issue summary.

This is only about 12 years late but I'll add a +1 here.
The statement of an issue by an end-user can be very "course" while the description of a resolution should be more refined. As stated by @ralfebert most tickets have a description/resolution like

  • Foo button doesn't work
  • Fixed the Foo button in the Bar screen to activate when the Baz field is empty

Just look at the summary for this ticket: "Summary vs. Change Log entry". That's hardly a good changelog description if this ticket is processed, where the resolution would be more like "Added Management option to allow selection of any field (including User-Defined) for the Changelog description."

You could create a custom field of type textarea and write a custom_function_override_changelog_print_issue to get what you are asking for.
