Should show the earliest (''SeaMonkey'') version with the reported problem. Together with ''Target Milestone'', this field marks the range of (SeaMonkey) versions with the reported problem. This range-information is important for several useful Bugzilla-Queries, for example | |||
* Decision whether an observed problem already has been reported. | |||
:If a bug report is concerning a problem with similar symptoms, but ''Version'' or ''Target Milestone'' do not match, the observed problem can not have the same roots as the problem of the other bug report. Example: You observe that in Browser background pictures are not shown and you find a possible DUPlicate in a Bugzilla, you should compare ''Version'' and ''Target Milestone'' of that Bug with your observations. If the problem you observe started with the same SeaMonkey version as indicated in that Bug report, but that problem has become fixed for a SeaMonkey 2 Versions before yours, your observations are concerning a different problem, or the Fix for the other Bug is incomplete concerning the aspect causing the problem you observe. | |||

* For ''RESOLVED - FIXED'': should show the earliest ''SeaMonkey'' version for what the bug has been fixed (known fix). Target information can be used in queries much more effected than the ''Status Flag'' "fixed" to find out with what version a particular problem became solved by a fix. | * For ''RESOLVED - FIXED'': should show the earliest ''SeaMonkey'' version for what the bug has been fixed (known fix).

Together with ''Version'', ''Target Milestone'' marks the Range of (SeaMonkey) versions with the reported problem. This range-information is important for several useful Bugzilla-Queries, for example | |||
* Decision whether you should update to a later version or whether that version contains regressions which are fatal for you. | |||
: This [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=SM2.47PossibleRegressions&sharer_id=41036&list_id=13327785 example] (Bugzilla account required) shows a query for the decision "should I update from SeaMonkey 2.40 to 2.47?". It lists problems (some still UNCONFIRMED) which appeared after ''Version'' '''2.40''', but still have not become FIXED for ''Target Miestone'' '''2.47'''. | |||
