Updated, however the issue is not a bug so I think many of the fields do not apply.

Okay but why does this need to be configurable?
What's the background on this ticket?

@rymach If it's not a bug, then presumably it's an improvement or new feature (I'm speaking in general; this is clearly a suggested improvement on existing functionality).

Our current Issue template is still pretty basic and can definitely be improved to better support reporting of bugs, feature requests, dependency upgrades, enhancements, etc. and as a contributor to DDF we welcome your suggestions or PRs to make those process improvements, both during this pilot program and beyond. It's agility- and transparency-turtles all the way down.

But even without making template changes, it's certainly possible to edit the entire contents of the Issue report - as you surmised - to better fit the needs of the issue you are currently reporting. In this case, a description of the why of the improvement would be helpful. Adding yet another knob or dial to DDF - if that's the form this enhancement would take - makes it that much more complicated to document, install, and administer; we need to weigh the flexibility and complexity of all those knobs and dials as compared to a less flexible, more opinionated system.

In a case like this one, especially, the issue report is the best place to document your assumptions, problems, and needs - the why of the change - such that it can be reviewed and discussed lest a solution be started before a consensus on the change request can even be reached. Without sufficient details, that discussion can't even begin.

Sorry about the lack of detail on the original issue.

We have a server admin that would like us to stop polling him every minute. Other sources allow you to change the poll interval, but not this one.

@rymach That's great explanatory information. Knowing that there is a use case for this change that makes sense and that it will make this source more alike other sources than less alike will help give the community confidence it is a good enhancement. That's the sort of stuff we're all hoping to see in our issue reports.

I'm sure you know how...sparse...some of our Jira tickets have been traditionally and one of the things we're hoping to see during this pilot is if we can do a better job of being more transparent, more communicative, and just plain better.
