Any software developers use Zoho Bug Tracker? Care to share your workflows?

Any software developers use Zoho Bug Tracker? Care to share your workflows and any feedback?

I see two serious problems with running software development projects in Zoho Projects + its subordinate Zoho Bug Tracker add-on:

1. Issues (Zoho Bug Tracker records) cannot have time estimates, so they can't feed into the overall time estimates for the project. (ZBT does have "Affected Milestone" and "Release Milestone" fields and we really need these. But we need them in "tasks" too — not just in "issues".

2. Tasks (Zoho Projects records) cannot have "Affected Milestone" and "Release Milestone" fields. Bug Tracker issues do have these two fields and we find them critical for keeping track of what version of a product a problem report applies to and which version we a) plan to fix it in, or b) are currently fixing it in, or c) did fix it in. Tasks do have time estimates as part of them, which is really important.

Is anyone actually running software development operations with Zoho Projects? Do you use Zoho Bug Tracker too? How do you keep the things above from being problems? Maybe you have one "project" per development project? That could help a little, but it introduces other problems for us.

Thanks for any feedback from the community.

Announcing the New Zoho BugTracker
We were frequently asked to have bug tracking as a separate, stand-alone product, decoupled from the rest of Zoho Projects - and to make it even more affordable. So we launched Zoho BugTracker a week before, a standalone product that helps teams fix bugs fast. Here's a quick summary of what's new in this release: : Give a structure to how bugs are handled by defining custom workflows Configure severity for the bugs to indicate how much the bug disrupts users from doing their jobs Build a library
