There is an extension for editing custom fields on reply and comment:

To place a named saved search on the main page, go into your "RT at a
glance" settings by clicking the Edit link in the top right corner.  If
your user has the correct saved search privileges, you can simply add any
existing search to one of the columns.

Re: [rt-users] a few trivial questions about tickets

2015-01-15 Thread Alex Peters
I believe that custom fields will appear on the comment/resolve page if
they are set up as "transaction" custom fields instead of "ticket" custom
fields.  I don't know whether this is suitable for your needs though.  Is
it acceptable in your case for one ticket to have multiple Git commit
values?  If not, this is probably not a solution for you.

I don't think that there are any settings to make custom fields display
conditionally depending on the specific action being taken, but you could
possibly write callbacks to achieve this.

Ticket progress can be tracked by setting "time estimated" (and/or "time
left") and updating "time worked" as progress is made.  If you explicitly
want to display a percentage, you'd probably need to create a custom field.

For me, when I've wanted to monitor progress of a ticket at a closer level
than just "not done yet" and "done," I've split the work into multiple
child tickets instead.  It's very easy to see from a parent ticket how many
child tickets still require completion, and then there's no need to
remember to manually update time worked/completion percentage values—if
three out of five child tickets are crossed out, the parent ticket is more
or less 60% done.

[rt-users] a few trivial questions about tickets

2015-01-15 Thread Luca Ferrari
Hi all,
first of all I'm using rt just from a few weeks, and I find it great.
I come from 2+ years of redmine usage, so apologize me if the
questions are trivial, but I'm not able to find the right answer in
the documentation.

I've added a few custom fields to my ticket definition, for example
"git commit", but I'm able to see the custom fields only when creating
a ticket or editing in jumbo mode. I cannot see them for instance when
resolving a ticket (i.e., Action->Resolv), which for some of them
makes much more sense.
Therefore, taking "git commit" as an example, is there a way to tie
such field to appear only when a specific action is executed against a
ticket?

Moreover, is there any progress meter to attach to tickets or should I
define it as custom field?

Last question: is there a short way to place a named saved search in a
menu or on the dashboard so that I can launch it quickly without
having to go to Search->Tickets->New Search? What I'd like to do is
the quick switch between open tickets and all tickets to see also
resolved ones.

Thanks for the time.
