<br>I don't think so, and there is already slots in the database for this information, so it may just be adding to the sql queries for each reqiestor (who are usually created as users)<br><br>

For all intents and purposes the the data i s there. My assumption is that this should be a relatively small patch.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm looking to have RT display a selection of essential requestor<br>
attributes (ie. WorkPhone) in a column on the ticket search result<br>
page(s). I understand that the current stable version, RT 3.8.7, can't<br>
do this.<br>
<br>
I haven't dug in very deep into the code, but I understand that some<br>
important modifications might need to be made to make this happen.<br>
<br>
So before going any further, I'd like to know:<br>
<br>
1) Is this functionality already planned for a future version?<br>
<br>
2) From someone who's more familiar with the internals of RT, is this<br>
even reasonable to attempt considering the extra overhead of creating<br>
and maintaining a potentially large custom patch?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
