Re: Bug purge

[Juan Pablo Carbajal]

Hi Rik,
Thanks, That helped. Still I am clicking through many open bugs that
are already commented. Is there a way to filter bugs/discussion that
haven't been modified since  16.11.16?
I tried the "additional constraint" and used Any, not modified since
16.11.2016, but I get an SQL error.
