[#1334]

Hi,

Quick question (not urgent), I couldn't find the anwser in the manual or past forum entries, although it might be there somewhere...

What exactly does the "update reference" button do, in Administration menu ?

As an example, I have modified the values of risks probabilities, so that low/med/high corresponds to 1/2/4 instead of 1/2/3, and also modified the values for the calculated severity of the risk, so that it matches.
Now, I have my new updated values correctly calculated for any new risk that I create (yay!), but the old risks which are in my database still have values corresponding to the old calculation. (I hope that is understandable...)

So I'm wondering if clicking on "update reference" will update the calculated values in database for my "old" risks ?

Cheers!

The update reference will recalculate the reference from specified format.
Defaut format is {project code}-{Type code}-{number}.
The recalculate will set correct code for items that have changed types and will avoid hole in numbering.
It is not designed to recalculate fields 🙁

What you can do is export risks, update severity, then import the list 😉

Ah yes of course, those references ! 😆

Good idea for the export / import. I was thinking a small SQL script would do the trick, but this is probably even faster. Thanks !
