Editting Issues Page

[Matt Goldencrown]

Hello everyone - I'm customizing the Issues page via the SCHEMA.XML
file (as listed in

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/spptsdk/html/tsovIntroTemplates.asp

and I'm running into a problem. I'm not able to find/edit two default
fields that appear when a new Issue is created (Category and Status).
I know that this is related to Windows Sharepoint Services but the
Issue List Definition is specific to Microsoft Project Server.

In <drive>:\Program Files\....\Issues\SCHEMA.XML I'm able to see where
the Priority list is defined, and creating a new field works as well.
I'm unable to find where the lists of Category and Status are defined.
I know it's possible to edit the contents of the lists per each
individual project site, but that's not really efficient for multiple
sites.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Matt

Okay, after some digging into the XML I've managed to find where the
Category and Status fields are defined. Where fields are normally
defined in the SCHEMA.XML file for each list, there is are a few field
definitions present in the ONET.XML file (in the XML folder) as well.
The fields are defined within the BaseTypes element -> Issues basetype
-> Metadata -> Fields. Why the definition occurs within the ONET.XML
and not the SCHEMA, I do not know.
