After migrating our Testiny suite to our customers organization, my (and others’) role was understandably changed from “Administrator” to “Project Administrator”, as access to adding or removing users is something that needs to be limited.
However, the actions available to a project administrator seems unnecessarily limited. Case in point: I am not able to add new values to a custom field (“Version”) that I earlier would update on a regular basis, even though I am a project administrator.
I don’t know if this is due to custom fields being something that exists on an “organizational” level, but simply deciding which custom fields to be shown or not within my project is not meeting our needs. Would it be possible to consider creating/editing/deleting custom fields to be something available to project administrators, or at least the editing part, so that I can add the new version numbers as they are getting ready for regression tests?
Unfortunately, as you already figured, custom fields are configured organization-wide, so every change could potentially influence all projects. Consequently, the limitation for project administrators is not “unnecessary”, but guarantees that 1 project administrator cannot change/break another project
Right now, you would either need to get the Administrator role or ask your Testiny organization administrator to update the values for the field for you.
That all said, there may be ways to improve this workflow in the future, e.g. by a separate permission to allow changing custom fields that the Administrator could grant you.
If somebody reads this request and also runs into the same problem, make sure to vote for this topic and please summarize your workflow. We do consider the number of votes for feature requests in our roadmap and priority planning.
We have Testiny set up with different projects that are wildly different and so the custom fields that is relevant will also differ. It would be nice to have this adaptability ourselves within our own projects to add and edit own fields in our own project.
