<span style>There seems to be a lot of confusion about what I am asking. I am sorry if I am not making myself clear. Please check out the attached image which shows exactly what I am looking at. Maybe I am interpreting it wrong, but the field Jeff describes is not the one I am asking about. I am referring to the field below it called "Include Page" which states:</span><br style>
<br style><span style>"RT can include content from another web service when showing this custom field. Fill in this field with a URL. RT will replace __id__ and __CustomField__ with the record's id and the custom field's value, respectively. Some browsers may only load content from the same domain as your RT server."</span><div style>
<br></div><div style>This seems to imply to me that the custom field can in fact include values from a web service. Or does this mean that it can render content in an iFrame or something? If someone can clarify what that field does I think that would be all I need. </div>

Hi Joe, that's good information but I am looking to be able to use<br>
the web service to populate the autocomplete values for one<br>
specific RT CustomField within RT. When you are setting up a custom<br>
field the screen even says that you can use a web service to<br>
populate the field's values, but I am not sure how to do that and I<br>
cannot find documentation.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Jim Lesinski<br>

I believe you've misread the RT CustomField definition screen.<br>
I've never used this feature before, but I read and interpret<br>
it as follows:<br>
<br>
It says (emphasis mine):<br>
<br>
RT can make this *custom field's values into hyperlinks to<br>
another service*. Fill in this field with a URL. RT will<br>
replace __id__ and __CustomField__ with the record's id<br>
and the custom field's value, respectively.<br>
<br>
Let's say your CF is "Employee Number".<br>
<br>
So, if you set "Link values to" as:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://service.example.com/lookup?empnum=__CustomField__" target="_blank">http://service.example.com/<u></u>lookup?empnum=__CustomField__</a><br>
<br>
If I typed '430' into this CF as a value (as an end user),<br>
it would show as a clickable link:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://service.example.com/lookup?empnum=430" target="_blank">http://service.example.com/<u></u>lookup?empnum=430</a><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
