Deleting issues

[infracritical]

There's got to be a way to delete issues; in this case, I've created several test issues, and now would like to delete them, reset the issuance back to the original issue ID before all of the test issues were initiated.

I've found this URL, https://github.com/eventum/eventum/wiki/System-Advanced:-Deleting-Issues, outlining that it's impossible to delete an issue via the user interface. Why? If you're the site administrator, I would think that it should be possible to delete an issue simply based on providing an issue ID number, then simply delete the record from within the database.

So...is this possible?

I created a deleted issues project and just move the ones I don't want there. Craig

if you want to start from scratch, create new database instead.

however, if you're still interested in "delete issues" script outlined in wiki, i could create updated version that works with current eventum.

the official support was removed because eventum principle is soft delete (altho that doesn't apply everywhere).

actually, seems the script already exists: contrib/delete_issues.php
