Legal values for the operating system, platform, bug priority and
severity, custom fields of type <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Drop Down</span>”</span> and
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Multiple-Selection Box</span>”</span> (see <a class="xref" href="custom-fields.html" title="3.10. Custom Fields">Section 3.10, “Custom Fields”</a>),
as well as the list of valid bug statuses and resolutions can be
customized from the same interface. You can add, edit, disable and
remove values which can be used with these fields.

Editing legal values requires <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">admin</span>”</span> privileges.
Select "Field Values" from the Administration page. A list of all
fields, both system fields and Custom Fields, for which legal values
can be edited appears. Click a field name to edit its legal values.
</p><p>
There is no limit to how many values a field can have, but each value
must be unique to that field. The sortkey is important to display these
values in the desired order.
</p><p>
When the availability of the values of a custom field is controlled
by another field, you can select from here which value of the other field
must be set for the value of the custom field to appear.
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="edit-values-delete"></a>3.11.2. Deleting legal values</h3></div></div></div><p>
Legal values from Custom Fields can be deleted, but only if the
following two conditions are respected:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>The value is not used by default for the field.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>No bug is currently using this value.</p></li></ol></div><p>
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.
