Custom feedback categories

Last week, Easy Feedback 0.7.0 was released to early access developers. With this release, developers can now define custom feedback categories, derived from lists on their Trello board.

Previously, reports were categorized into two predefined categories, "Feedback" and "Bugs." All feedback boards required respective lists for both categories, and the lists could not be removed or renamed.

However, users can now define any number of categories with any name they wish. Any list with the text "(EF)" at the end of its name is a valid feedback category, and will added to the categories dropdown on the form. The name of the category on the form is derived from the name of its respective list.

Custom categories in action

Here I have a new board on Trello. I have created two feedback categories named, "My Category" and "My Other Category." I've also added a third non-category list.

When I load the new board from my Trello account in the editor, the categories are found on the board, and added to the categories dropdown on the form.

In-game, I can select my categories from the dropdown when submitting a report. Let's go ahead and label this report as "My Category."

After I submit my report, it appears under the "My Category" list!

Notes

If any new categories are added to the board, or categories are renamed on Trello, those changes will not be reflected until the board is refreshed in the editor, and a new build is made. This behaviour is intentional, but subject to change before release.

Currently, the only way to add, remove, or rename categories is by editing the lists on Trello. However, a nice UI for managing categories in-editor is planned for an upcoming update to the alpha.
