Add support for custom ticket fields

[Jonas Borgström]

It would be nice if custom fields could be added to the tickets by just added a new form items to ticket.cs.

[daniel]

This is not so difficult, and very useful.

The tricky part is having the ticket forms be dynamic enough to represent arbitrary number of fields. Even that isn't such a big deal really.

What types of fields can be added? Aside from lists, will there be:

• text
• text area
• checkbox
• multiple selection lists
• radio button group (2 for yes/no true/false, more for one of many)

Having the single selection lists is a great starting point so please don't bump this from 0.8. I just wanted to point out that having more field types would be nice. Also, how will this relate to the report queries?

[daniel]

Initial support commited in [699].

See TracTicketsCustom for sample configuration.

Yet to do:

• 'textarea' type is missing
• Possibly a snazzier layout of widgets
• Add static text to 'the yellow part' when viewing a ticket with custom props.

i get following. maybe a python 2.1 problem ?

AttributeError: ConfigParser instance has no attribute 'items'

I get the same error as vittorio on 2.2

[arnarb@…]

Python docs say ConfigParser.items is new since 2.3

[vittorio]

fixes AttributeError for python<2.3

[vittorio]

attached get_config.item.patch that fixes the AttributeError (warning: im new to python)

[daniel]

Applied patch in [706]. Thanks a bunch, man :)

[daniel]

Closed in [714].
