Matt,

I'm not sure if the same line numbers apply for 3.8.x, but this is what we dod for 3.6.4:

#
#   To modify the way certain Custom Fields are set up for entering data,
# the following code should be *added* after line #76 and before the last "return"
#   command in the directory /apps/rt/rt-[x.x.x]/local/html/Elements:
#

   * *"EditCustomField"* -- Additional code after line #76*:*

*# Beginning of Override Code ===============*
if ($Type eq "Text") {
  $Rows = 8;
  $Cols = 50;
} elsif ($Type eq "Wikitext") {
             $Rows = 8;
             $Cols = 50;
} elsif ($Type eq "Select" and $MaxValues == 1) {
             $Rows = 1;
             $Cols = 30;
}

*# End of Override Code*

This code allows the entry "box" to be much larger and easier to use. I'm not sure if this is what you were referring to, but I hope it helps.

Folks:

I've created a custom field for a static description we'll use on some of our project-related tickets. Unfortunately the textarea is so small as to be almost useless.

Is there anything that can be easily done make this field more accessible?


You can modify share/html/Elements/EditCustomField (copy it in
local/html/Elements/ before) and change Cols (5) and Rows (15), but that
will be for all customfield of type textarea.
