[rt-users] searching "select multiple" Custom field

[Roy Sowa]

My problem/requirement seems to be much like this old thread;
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/rt/users/33053?search_string=multiple%20bug;#33053

I was hoping to be able to have  single multi-select custom field ( perhaps 50 + choices) , and then easily be able
to search/report on  tickets that had only a  very specific  combination ( from that given set  of  50 choices) selected .

Is anyone else doing something similar?

Roy,


	When you used the "OR' and got all thos results, did you notice any 
differences in the other criteria between the ticket you wanted (using 
the 'AND") the tickets with just one of the CF's? That might provide a 
clue as to what you need to change to your query.
