 '''Note:''' Versions of Trac prior to 0.9 did not have the ''type'' field, but instead provided a ''severity'' field and different default values for the ''priority'' field. This change was done to simplify the ticket model by removing the somewhat blurry distinction between ''priority'' and ''severity''. However, the old model is still available if you prefer it: just add/modify the default values of the ''priority'' and ''severity'', and optionally hide the ''type'' field by removing all the possible values through [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin].
 
+'''Note:''' the [wiki:TicketTypes type], [wiki:TicketComponent component], version, priority and severity fields can be managed with [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] or with the WebAdmin plugin.

 The option selected by default for the various drop-down fields can be set in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini], in the `[ticket]` section:
 
- * `default_type`: Default ticket type
  * `default_component`: Name of the component selected by default
- * `default_version`: Name of the default version
  * `default_milestone`: Name of the default milestone
  * `default_priority`: Default priority value
  * `default_severity`: Default severity value
+ * `default_type`: Default ticket type
+ * `default_version`: Name of the default version
 
 If any of these options are omitted, the default value will either be the first in the list, or an empty value, depending on whether the field in question is required to be set.

 == Assign-to as Drop-Down List ==
 
-If the list of possible ticket owners is finite, you can change the ''assign-to'' ticket field from a text input to a drop-down list. This is done by setting the `restrict_owner` option of the `[ticket]` section in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini] to “true”. In that case, Trac will use the list of all users who have logged in and set their email address to populate the drop-down field.

-''Note that this feature is '''still experimental as of version 0.9'''. There is no way to only display a subset of all known users as possible ticket owners. Nor is there a convenient way to remove emeritus users short of directly modifying the database.''
-
+To appear in the dropdown list, a user needs be registered with the project, ''i.e.'' a user session should exist in the database. Such an entry is automatically created in the database the first time the user submits a change in the project, for example when editing the user's details in the ''Settings'' page, or simply by authenticating if the user has a login. Also, the user must have `TICKET_MODIFY` [TracPermissions permissions].
