You can easily insert the template formats by typing a short-code in the textarea.

- Type “feature`” to insert a feedback template
It makes it much easier!
FogBugz provides various ways to explore the existing cases. Please refer to FogBugz’s online documentation for more detail.
Note
- Everyone can browse your cases, please do NOT write any private information in the description.
- Please do NOT change or edit “Fix For” and “Assigned To”. We may lose the case if it’s changed inappropriately.
- For each case please refer to a single bug or a feedback.
- Please make sure that the report contains enough information to reproduce your bug. Especially your server/browser environment and “steps to reproduce” are both essential.
Thank you very much for your help !
