<rss version="2.0" xmlns:a10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"><channel><title>Inflectra Customer Forums: Closed releases not visible when using custom section filters (Thread)</title><description> Hi,  We have a suite of custom reports that rely on the Release control in the custom section filter to work which has been working great (once I learnt about the ${ReleaseAndChildIds} token anyway).   However, recently weve started marking releases as  Closed  to prevent QA from accidentally executing against old releases but this seems to result in the closed releases not being selectable in the reporting filters.  So my questions are:   Are closed releases being deliberately filtered out of report filtering functionality?  If this is a bug what are the chances of a fix?    Is there a work around? (One that ideally that doesnt involve reopening any release artifacts we want to report on, or even worse, having to hard code requirement IDs to report on historical releases)   Any guidance would be appreciated.

Im afraid Im not sure of other options.

I did try using  Completed  and while that locks down the release form, it wont stop QA assigning new runs against that release which is what we are trying to prevent.  Ill have a chat with the powers that be here in the office and see if we want to go down the ticket route.
