+ <title>Legal Values</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Since Bugzilla 2.20 RC1, legal values for Operating Systems, platforms,
+ bug priorities and severities can be edited from the User Interface
+ directly. This means that it is no longer required to manually edit
+ <filename>localconfig</filename>. Starting with Bugzilla 2.23.3, you
+ can also customize the list of valid resolutions from the same interface.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id="edit-values-list">
+ <title>Viewing/Editing legal values</title>
+ <para>
+ Editing legal values requires <quote>admin</quote> privileges.
+ A link named <quote>Field Values</quote> is visible in your footer and
+ clicking on it displays the list of fields whose values can be edited.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ You can add as many legal values as you want, and each value must be
+ unique (on a per field basis). The sortkey is important to display these
+ values in the desired order.
+ </para>
+ </section>
+
+ <section id="edit-values-delete">
+ <title>Deleting legal values</title>
+ <para>
+ You can also delete legal values, but only if the two following conditions
+ are respected:
+ </para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>The value is not used by default for the field.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>No bug is currently using this value.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>
+ If any of these conditions is not respected, the value cannot be deleted.
+ The only way to delete these values is to reassign bugs to another value
+ and to set another value as default for the field.
