ticket view should customize based on ticket type

[eoin.dunne@…]

I swear I entered this ticket before but I just spent 15 minutes searching and found nothing. So sorry if this is a duplicate...

What would be super useful is if the ticket form could change what fields are visible (particularily custom fields), based on the ticket type.

I wrote the TestCaseManagement? Plugin on Track hacks. One of the requirements is that the user add a ticket type called testcase, and for reporting purposes they should add a testcase result field.

however, this field (testcase result), doesn't make much sense when submitting a defect.

The extra custom fields clutter up the view.

maybe an extra attribute in the config file under the custom fields like

customFieldName.name.visible = (always or tickettype)

So if the custom field had a visible=always the field would always be visible for all ticket types. If visible=testcase(for example type is testcase) then the field would only be visible for that particular ticket type.

oh I'm guessing this would require javascript to change the ticket form if the ticket type changed (or re-post to the server for an updated view).

This is already implemented in the CondFields plugin.
