Raising Issues

Raising Issues

An issue is an area where you can feel the project could be improved, for example, you could report a problem or bug you’ve encountered while using the software, a feature you feel is missing, or a gap in the project’s documentation.

When raising issues via our GitHub repository ensure you state the issue clearly with a full description of steps to reproduce, what version(s) of SuiteCRM the issue was found in and; if relevant what platform it is running on and a screenshot of the issue. This will allow any contributor to easily identify and potentially address the issue. Here is the GitHub guide to all things issues.

Good example of a raised issue:

Security

We take Security seriously here at SuiteCRM so if you have discovered a security risk report it by emailing security@suitecrm.com. This will be delivered to the product team who handle security issues. Please don’t disclose security bugs publicly until they have been handled by the security team.

Your email will be acknowledged within 24 hours during the business week (Mon - Fri), and you’ll receive a more detailed response to your email within 72 hours during the business week (Mon - Fri) indicating the next steps in handling your report.

Labelling

We have a number of labels that we tag issues with to define it’s type, priority, and action.

Type:
  • bug

  • duplicate

  • invalid

  • question

  • suggestion

Priority:
  • Low Priority

  • Medium Priority

  • High Priority

Action:
  • Resolved: Next Release

  • Fixed Proposed

  • Pending Input

  • Wrong Branch

  • In Review

We encourage users whom feel an issue should be raised as a higher priority for a next release that they should make a comment to that affect. This also applies to incorrect labelling.
