[rt-users] Urgent help needed with Custom field on Ticket NOT WORKING

[Curtis Raams]

Hello,

The CF is a 'input one value' type, and is for a 'tickets' and assigned to
the 'queue'.
It also has the correct (all) privileges set in the Groups associated.

I also had not correctly detailed all of the problems we are having.
The ticket actually shows custom fields, however the custom fields the
ticket are showing is NOT ticket custom fields, but USER custom fields.

When I create a new ticket, it shows the ticket custom fields correctly, but
if I input any value upon submit of ticket I get the new ticket displayed,
and in the yellow box on the top I get "Custom field 1 does not apply to
this object".

And the ticket DOES show some custom fields, however they are USER custom
fields, and not ticket custom fields.
This to me seems clearly to be an issue with RT 3.8.0

Curtis,


	First of all, what type of CF is it? A Text field or "select one 
value"? If it is a "Select one value" and there are no values to select 
from, then that would cause this problem. Also, just because you created 
a CF and applied it to a queue, that does not mean anyone can update it. 
  TO set up rights to update a CF you have to go to 
Configuration->Custom Fields->(select CF)->Group Rights. IT is here that 
you enable users to see and modify the CF. WE use groups so we don't 
have to maintain a whole truckload of users every time they changes 
responsibilities (we just remove them from a group and add them to 
another). If you only have a few users, the you might want to allow all 
privileged. Whatever your circumstances. The point is that a CF that is 
created AND applied to a queue still needs to have the usage rights set. 
CF's are treated as separate objects from tickets. Hope this helps.
