GNATS still refuses to accept the "default" keyword in 
multi-enumerated-in-file field definitions. The error message is as follows:

417 - Error at line 117 of 
/usr/local/share/gnats/tt/gnats-adm/dbconfig:parse error

If `separators' is present, then it must be the final item in the field
definition, `defaults' must come sooner.  Is it this?

(I admit this should be considered a bug, but it's not clear to me now
why this happens with the given grammar.)

Yes, that was it, and things are working now. I'll update the docs as soon 
as I can. Is it only the "separators" and "defaults" keywods that have to 
be in a specific order, or are there other such dependencies, and does this 
also go for defaults and separators in the multienum field type?

`separators' has to be the last option if present.  I think the order of
other options is not important.

I think `separators' mustn't be followed by any other option there too.

OK, I'll write that in the manual. Shouldn't hurt to be extra careful.

OK, I documented that.

I just tested that, and it appears that the "separators" last rule does 
_not_ apply to multienum fields.

>Description:
There is currently no way to specify input defaults for the multi-enumerated-in-file field type. Currently, it uses the first value of the associated admin file as default, in the same way as enumerated-in-file does. This is a problem, since multi-enumerated-in-file by its very nature should be able to have more than one default value.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
multi-enumerated-in-file should get a "default" dbconfig keyword, like multienum has, where you could supply a legally separated string of values which would then become the field default.
