pjaramillo,

I have created several sets of documentation for us here, from a User guide to a Queue manager guide, glossary, permissions guide, perl scrips to automatically update Custom Fields when a ticket undergoes certain changes, etc. We can take this offline if you'd like and I'll be glad to show you how we work it. RT works great for us. We have a Review & Approval flow as well as a QA workFlow ( we like our own better than the RT one). Let me know.

Ken,
I actually work for the DoE at KCP. Good to see others are using RT successfully. Me on the other hand, not so successful and I'm getting to the point of looking at another product.

My initial configuration was strictly group based, however due to this problem I experimented with every permutation of permission possible. I have since rolled back to just group based permissions.

Both SeeCustomField and ModifyCustomField are already granted to the correct user-defined groups.
The custom field itself is already applied to the correct Queues.

Does 3.8.5 just not work? Below is the actual custom field information. Yes I know the regex is lame, its a starting point.

Custom Field

Name: _RTIR_Domain
Description: Domains for RTIR queues
Type: Enter multiple values
Applies to: Tickets
Validation: (?#DOMAIN)^.*\.[a-z]{2,3}$
Link values to:
Include page:
Enabled Checked

Thanks,
Paul J

Re: [rt-users] Ticket Custom Fields Not Visible



pjarmillo,

You actually granted the rights at both the user AND group level? Hmm, if all users are in some sort of group, you shouldn't do that because you might lose track of what maintenance you do. I recommend leaving users alone and just grant at the group level. You might run into a problem removing a permission from a group but the user retains it and then you'll have a debug problem. Now, as to your problem, I'm not sure how 3.8.x does it, but in 3.6.4, which I have has Custom Field rights in two areas; 1) when you navigate to Configuration->Global->Group Rights and 2) Configuration->Custom Fields->"Select Field->Group Rights. If you did the first (in 3.6) set, then that won't get the job done. You HAVE to grant "SeeCustomField" using the second navigation in order to "See" them and "ModifyCustomField" if you want them to enter/select values. Hope this helps.

Okay after reading through old posts on various lists and google I am still having problems.

My problem is that I have created a custom field for use in RT:IR
tickets
(blocks, incidents, incident reports, investigations) and it will not
show
up in the create ticket screen.

The custom field is enabled. It is assigned to the queues. It has
correct
permission's.

I've tried creating tickets as root and another user with the correct permission's and nothing works.

Most of the responses I've read involved permission's. I have already
set
ShowCustomField ModifyCustomField on every user, group, system group,
etc
to no avail.

I have also tried setting it up globally, no luck.

I have tried adding it to the display columns in the advanced tab as one

user suggested and nothing.

I have looked at the tables in MySQL to see if there were any errors in the table or fields, no luck.

I am running RT 3.8.5 with RT:IR and RT:FM.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Paul J
