ServiceDesk start failure after 7022 migration

Matrix report on request custom field help
I've created a custom field in the Requests module called Downtime. I need a Matix report whose columns are months and only two rows are Occurances and Sum of Downtime. Something like this: I would identify occurances WHERE UDF_LONG1 IS NOT NULL. I also want to have the option to filter this by Department, but that is a simple filter on any report so I am not too worried about that part. Is there any way to make a report like this in SDP? Thanks in advance!

Requesters select the priority?
Hi all, Sorry if I am being blonde, but I cannot see the option anywhere. Is it possible for the requester to select the priority when logging a request from the portal?

Missing work logs in Requets, Problems and Changes for build 7018.
I have had a few of my tech's inform me that they have entered Work logs into Requests, Problems and Changes and when they revisit them later, they are gone with no trace of them ever being there. I have also had information saying that they have related a Change to a Problem and when they revisit, the relationship has gone, the Change still exists but it is no longer related to the Problem. We are about to go to 7.5 but it is a few weeks from completion so I am concerned at this issue.
