I'm just starting an investigation of eventum.

As a software developer, one feature I'd like to have is for users to be able to save a template for an issue submission. In this way, they can save the details of their computer and environment and not have to re-enter it every time. A user might have a "home" and "laptop" template for example.

Since Eventum doesn't have dedicated fields to enter computer environment settings in, these fields have to be added as "Custom Fields". Functionality could be added to pre-select these fields, but I do not really see the need for this, considering generally a user only needs to choose values from 2-3 select boxes.

If you are wanting the users to be able to save a string of text to put in the issue body, this is easier to do, but I still don't think it is needed.
