Hi,

My institution is being enforced to calculate the costs of the services that it provides in a currency that we call "Service Unit" ("SU" for short). We have some queues that represent different kinds of work provided by us, so I have created a custom field called SU, which is applied to tickets, no matter their queue (it is applied to many different queues). Depending on the queue, the value of SU could be calculated based on the value of other custom fields. For example, let us have three queues Q1, Q2 and Q3. Tickets of Q1 have SU, CFQ1A and CFQ1B custom fields, whereas tickets of Q2 have SU and CFQ2A. Tickets of Q3 only have one custom field, which is SU.

- If the queue of a ticket is Q1, then SU = CFQ1A + CFQ1B
- If the queue of a ticket is Q2, then SU = 3 x CFQ2A.
- If the queue of a ticket is Q3, then the value of SU should be manually introduced.

This simplified problem shows what I want to do. In my real problem, there are more queues and the formulas for computing SUs are not as easy as those. I would like to compute the value of SU automatically when it is possible rather than introducing its value manually. Is there an relatively easy way to do this? Can scrips help me?

If not, I would like to create at least an hyperlink near the SU custom field to a page where proprietaries of tickets can look for the formulas that they have to use based on the kind of problem (queue) they are resolving. I had the idea of using the "Include page" attribute of the SU custom field in order to add a link to a page where this information would be available. It works fine, but unfortunately only when the SU custom field has a value. If SU has no value (the CF is empty), then the link isn't shown. How can I always show this link? Where can I add it in order to be always present when people examine tickets?

Help and advices are always welcome.

Thanking you for your time,
Carlos
