Yesterday I noticed that all my tasks have priority P3 when hovering over the tasklist and in the icon displayed in the task editor (to the left of the title). This was definitely not the case when I was using the older version in ganemeade. I tried to update the repository configuration (Task Repositories view > Popup Menu > Update Repository Configuration) and to re-sync my tasks. Furthermore, I then tried to delete and recreate the task repository and I also tried a new workspace all to no success: The priorities of our bugzilla seem not to be mapped to the mylyn priorities. We use a 3.6 bugzilla with the default priorities (P1 to P5).
The reason for our problem was this: - Bugzilla 3.6 ships with priorities "Highest", "High", ... instead of "P1", "P2", ... - The Mylyn Bugzilla connector has mappings for priorities hard coded. If Bugzilla version is >= 3.6 it expects "High" and not "P2" Our bugzilla installation was just updated to 3.6 and therefore kept the old "P1" priorities. After my update to the newest Mylyn it seemed as though as the tasks have lost their priorities. The good news is that it is possible (and easy) to update the priority field values in bugzilla. After setting them to the expected values mylyn works again as expected.
The issue here is related to bug 242739. I'm leaving this open, but for us it is no longer an issue.
Please update to the latest version of Mylyn. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 310875 ***
Thanks for the detailed explanation, Peter. Sorry for closing this bug prematurely. It's a very common scenario that Bugzilla repositories are migrated, so it seems likely that priority levels would be P1 - P5 even in version 3.6 and later.
