[rt-users] Searching custom field from homepage

[Ken Crocker]

Jason,


       My company  needed the same thing but not from the home page. 
Creating a custom field is easy enough and you can apply that custom 
firld to any queue, therefore allowing a query to be created with the 
custom field, but again, that is within the query page, not from the 
home page. We use RT 3.4.4. What's wrong with one extra click and going 
to the query page?
