=== Create a | === Create a summary for the ticket === | ||
You'll notice that the first text box is for a '''Summary''' of the ticket. Sometimes the '''Summary''' is also called the '''Title''' of the ticket. This is an important part of the ticket - in fact, some people say it is the ''most'' important part - because reading the title of a ticket is how a developer decides that he or she is going to work on it. | |||
Write a ticket summary/title that describes your idea. Try to write it so that a developer reading the title of your ticket will go "oh, I know what I have to work on, and why this is important - I will read more about this ticket and maybe try to fix it." | |||
