[rt-users] Display custom fields in a ticket
That's odd. I added the following to RT_SiteConfig.pm: Set(%CustomFieldGroupings, 'RT::Ticket' => [ 'Custom Fields' => ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R'], ], ); This gave me the error when logged in on the server to RT: An internal RT error has occurred. Your administrator can find more details in RT's log files. Logging in via an external site failed to do anything. Not wanting to leave it broken, I edited the RT_SiteConfig.pm and places pound (#) signs in front of the lines above. I then rebooted. Now it is working. Huh? Since it seems to be working now, I am not going to touch it for a while. /jeff The information contained in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended recipient(s) and may be confidential, proprietary, and/or legally privileged.

While it suggests a value for CustomFieldGrouping in the comments, it does not actually set it. As you saw, this is a strait up upgrade of a working system. I only customized it enough to add in the ID and web info. It does work, just not with custom fields. /jeff The information contained in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended recipient(s) and may be confidential, proprietary, and/or legally privileged.

Here is the substance of my RT_SiteConfig.pm file: Set($rtname, 'X.COM'); Set($WebDomain, 'X'); Set(@ReferrerWhitelist, qw(AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD:80 X:80 x:80)); Set($WebPath, "/rt"); We don't use the email side at all (the server cannot even send mail), only the web side. Can you give me the CustomFieldGrouping I need? We have CF's of the following patterns: LookupType # Name Added Type Pattern Status Articles# CFXX Z Enabled Articles# CFXX, YY Z Enabled Tickets # CFXX Z [WWW]Enabled Tickets # CFXX Z Enabled Tickets # CFGlobal Z [WWW]Enabled Tickets # CFGlobal Z Enabled With a total of 5 article and 20 ticket CFs. Two of the latter are test entries.

After adding to RT_SiteConfig.pm, I will bounce the web server to verify.

In 4.2 BP introduced the concept of CustomFieldGrouping where you can
add CFs to other metadata blocks like Dates or People thats why
ShowSummary is different.
Could it be that the configuration variable todo wiht CF-Grouping has
been modified (incorrectly)??

I think I have some customized old system files. I don't have any .../local
file
Overrides in the 3.8.4 system. But based on your info, I found the file
Ticket/Elements/ShowSummary
Which looked to be customized (or at least it shows the text "Custom Fields".
Comparing the two, it is clear that the 4.2.10 version does not have these
Fields as part of the file. Below is a DOS diff, showing the differences of
between the files. Can you tell me what file(s) I need to create to make a
local override in the new system, and what you suggest for the contents? The
new system is a clean install, so the files should be default values. Also,
what other files do I need to look at for these custom fields? I.e., ticked
edit, self-service, others

So there is atleast one CF that should be visible.

This should show some fields if I'm correct but doesn't which if true I

You could trace the records mentioned back to the various tables in the
database but I agree with you that it shouldn't be the cause of the
problems you're having.

Possible but it could be hidden or it could be obvious.
If its done well than the customisation should be done in the
/opt/rt4/local/ tree and it would survive updates. Now its probably not
a plugin so you could skip looking at the plugins folder but you never
know. Do you run plugins?
Anything in the 'lib' or 'html' folder may overrule the same file from
/opt/rt4/{lib|html} and anything in the callback folder can add/overrule
parts or anything using the callback mechanism built into RT
So is anything in it in the old system?
If it isn't done nicely then things get tricky. Source files can be
altered directly and finding them could involve getting a diff between
whats installed now and how a pristine installed tree looks like.
Looking at modified dates might also be a way to find diffs.
Lets see how far we get this time :-)

Goto the top menu: Admin/CustomFields/Select Make sure you have ticket CFs displayed (Only show custom fields for Field) Select one that is visible in the old system.

Since it is html & I wanted to sanitize the data, I copied it to text. Below are the old and new screens. Just format in a fixed font like courier, and each line is 87 chars long, in case of wrapping. The new entry has some additional transactions, since it is live. /jeff Old: |---Ticket metadata---| | |---The Basics| |---Reminders-| | | | Id: 184 | | New reminder: | | | | Status: new | | Subject: | | | | Priority: 0/| | Owner: | | | | Queue:X | | Due: Calendar | | | |-| |-| | | | | |---Custom Fields-| |---Dates-| | | | CustomField_01: X | | Created: Wed Jun 10 13:45:23 2015 | | | | CustomField_02: X | | Starts: Not set | | | | CustomField_03: (no value) | | Started: Not set | | | | CustomField_04: X | | Last Contact: Not set | | | | CustomField_05: X | | Due: Not set | | | | CustomField_06: (no value) | | Closed: Not set | | | | CustomField_07: Unknown | | Updated: Wed Jun 10 13:45:23 2015 by X | | | | CustomField_08: (no value) | |-| | | | CustomField_09: (no value) | | | | CustomField_10: (no value) | |---Links Graph---| | | | CustomField_11: X | | Depends on: (Create) | | | | CustomField_12: (no value) | | Depended on by: (Create) | | | | CustomField_13: (no value) | | Parents:(Create) | | | | CustomField_14: Unknown | | Children: (Create) | | | | CustomField_15: (no value) | | Refers to: (Create) | | | | CustomField_16: (no value) | | Referred to by: (Create) | | | | CustomField_17: (no value) | |-| | | | CustomField_18: (no value) | | | |-| | | | | |---People| | | | Owner: Nobody | | | | Requestors: X | | | | Cc: | | | | AdminCc:| | | |-| | |-| |---History---| | # Wed Jun 10 13:45:23 2015 USERNAME - Ticket created [Reply] [Comment][Forward] | | Subject: X | | ZZZ | | # Wed Jun 10 13:45:23 2015 RT_System - Outgoing email recorded [Show] | |-| >|< RT 3.8.4 Copyright 1996-2009 Best Practical Solutions, LLC.

When I check for the custom fields for the queue, I see no fields listed under selected and no fields listed under unselected. Just checked my user rights: My login is a member of the admin group. The admin group has all but: Modify ticket owner on owned tickets [ReassignTicket] *Show Articles menu [ShowArticlesMenu] Show global templates [ShowGlobalTemplates] Show history of public user properties [ShowUserHistory] *Allow writing Perl code in templates, scrips, etc [ExecuteCode] Create, modify and delete custom fields values [AdminCustomFieldValues] The two with asterisks (*), I pick up via other groups. So basically, I have every right I probably need. Looking at the right of the custom field, it seems to have none. I think it should have: View custom fields [SeeCustomField] But when I check it and save it, nothing changes on the ticket display. I have a local VM with the old install in working condition, so I have all the files and data. Not sure where to look. /jeff The information contained in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended recipient(s) and may be confidential, proprietary, and/or legally privileged.

Do you happen to have a file backup of the RT install tree? That way you can try to find out if any customization has been done.

[rt-users] Display custom fields in a ticket
I am a novice at RT. I was given an instance of RT 3.8.4 to upgrade a while ago. I upgraded it into RT 4.2.10. Seemed to be OK. At least it ran. Today, months later, I was informed the tickets are not displaying the custom fields that used to be there. I have confirmed that the field definitions appear to have been copied over. However, the fields are not showing in the display. Can someone post stuff for me to check? I suspect it is something as simple as adding the field to the list of things to show on the display page. However, I don't know how to do that. Any help appreciated. /jeff The information contained in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended recipient(s) and may be confidential, proprietary, and/or legally privileged.
