I actually agree with you here. I ended up using InterWiki links instead of a macro. it's not perfect because my macro generated different links based on the ID passed to is, but I just replaced it with two InterWiki links and moved on with my life. I did open a ticket on this issue after I sent the email. The more I thought about the issue, it seemed clear that there was definitely a bug - either the fields should work the same, or the docs for custom fields should explain the difference. The ticket is http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/10352 and it appears to have at least been considered for future refinement. Sorry for not closing the loop on my request for help stating that I had worked around it and opened a documentation ticket. I tried to but I never saw my email post to the group. I actually managed to convince myself that it never posted, but it clearly did... Thanks --John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
