When you have a lot of issues, it can be hard to get an overview.
2021-06-08 01:23:25 +05:30
With weighted issues, you can get a better idea of how much time,
value, or complexity a given issue has or costs.

You can set the weight of an issue during its creation, by changing the
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
value in the dropdown menu. You can set it to a non-negative integer
value from 0, 1, 2, and so on. (The database stores a 4-byte value, so the
2021-06-08 01:23:25 +05:30
upper bound is essentially limitless.)
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
You can remove weight from an issue
as well.

This value appears on the right sidebar of an individual issue, as well as
2021-06-08 01:23:25 +05:30
in the issues page next to a weight icon (**{weight}**).
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
As an added bonus, you can see the total sum of all issues on the milestone page.
