Change a code smell to a bug to raise importance of the rule

In my code, I could see that some of the code smells should be changed into bugs. I am using sonarqube enterprise version. Can you help me understand, how we can achieve this option?

Hi,

There’s no ability to change the type of a rule or its issues. If you disagree on type, please let us know, with a thread for each rule and your reasoning.

 
Thx,

Hi @praveenv ,

With SonarQube Server 10.8 now available, you have two ways of working, both allowing you to customise the severity of rules and issues:

We are very keen to understand whether we need to put custom issue types into the Standard Experience. An example of this in action would be changing an issue from being a vulnerability to being a bug. You can usually do this in MQR mode by downgrading the Security severity to Info and upgrading the Reliability severity. This is not currently possible in the Standard Experience because you only have one severity and that is associated with a single type.

If you are working/plan to work in the Standard Experience and see a need to change the type of an issue, please could you vote on this roadmap item so that we can understand how important this is?
