The creator of the issue is now automatically recorded in the issue. The creator of the issue is the person who generated the issue. If the issue is created from an email, the issue creator is the person in the FROM: field on the email. If someone who is logged into Orange Tracker generates the issue by selecting the "Create" button, the issue creator is that user. You can view the issue creator in the issue history tab. NOTE: pre-existing issues created before the upgrade will have the creator set to the reporter of the issue at the the time of the upgrade.
2) Search by Creator
You can now search by the creator of the issue. Under "Issues" in the top menu, select "Search for Issues." Select "More" and then "Creator" from the drop-down list.

The favorite filters will vary by user and displays the filters that have been marked as a favorite by that user.
You can hide the filters panel by selecting the "Undock filters" icon next to the "Filters" heading at the top of the panel.
While the filters panel is undocked, you can hover over the "dock" icon (just like undock except it is two greater than signs) to temporarily expand the panel. Click the "dock" icon to permanently expand the filters panel.

Project Administration

If you are in the project manager role for a project, you can add a new component right from the component field on an issue in the project. Simply click the pencil for the field to edit it and then start typing the new component name. A box will appear below the field that says "(New Component)" and the name you are typing.
The new component will be added when you press return and then select the check mark to update the field. A poup box will then appear that tells you the new component has been added to the project.
If you want to add a description, default assignee, or component lead, you will need to navigate to the Project Administration screen. You can also only delete components from the Project Administration screen.
...
1) The Project Lead is included in the "Other Users" dropdown
2) You can attach files from your connected device to the notification, as well as files that are attached to the issue.

Link to New Issue Replaces Create and Link
To clone an issue with options to select a new project or update issue fields, use the Link to New Issue action, located on the issue screen, under the "More" menu. Navigate to the issue you wish to clone, click the More drop down, and select Link to New Issue.
On the next screen, choose the project and optionally the Issue Type for the new issue.
The reporter field isn't inherited by the new issue, so be sure to update it. The Summary and Description fields are inherited, but you can update these fields, as well as any other fields that appear on the screen. Clone options offer the ability to copy watchers, comments, and attachments, if any exist on the original issue. Click the Create button to create the new issue. A link to the original issue will be created automatically.
