That said, it's easier to add components and keywords than it is to add a new selection box. I know how to do the former but not (yet) the latter.

It's not too difficult, either: edit schema.py to change the database (roundup will automatically sync with the database), then edit html/issue.item.html to display the field (pick one of the fields with a similar type, and copy-paste).

Assuming this is an enumerated type, you actually need to start with creating a new Class (in schema.py). Ignore initial_data.py, and just define the class; then fill the enumerators through the web interface.

This is one of the areas where roundup rocks (email follow-ups being the other one :-)

One of the roundup downsides is access control. Take a similar field (access-control wise), and add the new field/class to all places where the similar field is used. That will make sure that any AC bugs in the original field will also spread to the new field :-(

HTH, Martin
