Hi Muneet,
If you just create a boolean field, then there should be no problem the field will just be 'unset' or null. If you want to make it a 'Required" field, then you will cause yourselves problems. What it will mean that you will not be able to make any changes to any old defects unless you ALSO set the boolean. This usually makes users complain bitterly.

Hi,
I am planning to add a required custom Boolean field to mark a defect as a patch, so when someone creates a defect they will have to select the field 'Patch' to be either true or false. Will this impact any of the old defects? Will I have to change the old data as well?
