[rt-users] Question about autogenerating custom fields

[Gene LeDuc]

I don't know if you can auto-generate custom fields, but you can certainly 
store multiple values within an already existing custom field.  For 
instance, set up custom fields for Hardware, OS, Applications, etc, 
creating each field as a "multiple values" field.  Each field can then hold 
as many values as you like.  Using a scrip to load values into the fields 
is fairly straightforward and there are examples in the Contributions (or 
Code Snippets, I can never remember which) area of the wiki.

Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.

Regards,
Gene
