Sounds like custom fields to me.

Subject: [rt-users] form-workflow during ticket creation
hello folks,
I'm new to RT.
I'd like to set up ticket creation such that tables in an independent
relational
database (postgresql) can be used to force choices in some fields/menus,
and
perhaps display information in other fields.
Example:
my company offers products Product-A, Product-B, Product-C.
Product-A has versions 2.11p3, 2.13, 3.0, etc.
Product-B has versions b56-03, b56-04, b57-01 etc.
I'd like a drop-down menu where ticket creator must choose Product-A,
Product-B, etc. After she has chosen the applicable product, I'd like
another
drop-down menu with the appropriate versions for that product.
I've done a bit of research and it isn't clear to me if this is
possible, or if
it is, what RT mechanisms could be used to implement it.
Is it possible? If yes, I would be grateful for some pointers to
examples/howtos or other tips on how to proceed.
I can imagine that the above could be *relative* simple to implement. I
can
imagine a somewhat trickier scenario, though, in which the ticket
creator has to
supply a license-ID in a field, after which the menus above (product,
version),
would be dynamically populated after a DB lookup to determine what
products
and/or versions were linked to that particular license-ID. Is *that*
possible?
(well, without getting into nitty-gritty AJAX programming?)
thanks,
Rob Urban
