A custom field can be made visible when some criteria is met.
For instance, when the bug belongs to one or more products,
or when the bug is of some given severity. If left empty, then
the custom field will always be visible, in all bugs.

<emphasis>Field that controls the values that appear in this field:</emphasis>
When the custom field is of type <quote>Drop Down</quote> or
<quote>Multiple-Selection Box</quote>, you can restrict the
availability of the values of the custom field based on the
value of another field. This criteria is independent of the
criteria used in the <quote>Field only appears when</quote>
setting. For instance, you may decide that some given value
<quote>valueY</quote> is only available when the bug status
is RESOLVED while the value <quote>valueX</quote> should
always be listed.
Once you have selected the field which should control the
availability of the values of this custom field, you can
edit values of this custom field to set the criteria, see
<xref linkend="edit-values-list" />.

Since Bugzilla 2.20 RC1, legal values for Operating Systems, platforms,
bug priorities and severities can be edited from the User Interface
directly. This means that it is no longer required to manually edit
<filename>localconfig</filename>. Starting with Bugzilla 2.23.3,
the list of valid resolutions can be customized from the same interface.
Since Bugzilla 3.1.1 the list of valid bug statuses can be customized
as well.
Legal values for the operating system, platform, bug priority and
severity, custom fields of type <quote>Drop Down</quote> and
<quote>Multiple-Selection Box</quote> (see <xref linkend="custom-fields" />),
as well as the list of valid bug statuses and resolutions can be
customized from the same interface. You can add, edit, disable and
remove values which can be used with these fields.
