[rt-users] Ticket Custom Fields Not Visible

[Lander, Scott]

Paul,

    I was having problems finding the permissions I needed awhile aback.  I finally went to configuration  -> Global -> User Rights, and just selected everything for a single user.    If that user still can't see what it is you are looking fro, then it probably isn't a permission problem!    If the user can, then start removing rights.    For me, I found I needed ModifySelf, when I REALLY didn't want to grant that right....

Ken,
I actually work for the DoE at KCP. Good to see others are using RT successfully. Me on the other hand, not so successful and I'm getting to the point of looking at another product.

My initial configuration was strictly group based, however due to this problem I experimented with every permutation of permission possible. I have since rolled back to just group based permissions.

Both SeeCustomField and ModifyCustomField are already granted to the correct user-defined groups.
The custom field itself is already applied to the correct Queues.

Does 3.8.5 just not work? Below is the actual custom field information.
Yes I know the regex is lame, its a starting point.

Custom Field

Name: _RTIR_Domain
Description: Domains for RTIR queues
Type: Enter multiple values
Applies to: Tickets
Validation: (?#DOMAIN)^.*\.[a-z]{2,3}$
Link values to:
Include page:
Enabled Checked

Thanks,
Paul J

pjarmillo,

You actually granted the rights at both the user AND group level? Hmm, if all users are in some sort of group, you shouldn't do that because you might lose track of what maintenance you do. I recommend leaving users alone and just grant at the group level. You might run into a problem removing a permission from a group but the user retains it and then you'll have a debug problem.
Now, as to your problem, I'm not sure how 3.8.x does it, but in 3.6.4, which I have has Custom Field rights in two areas; 1) when you navigate
to Configuration->Global->Group Rights and   2) Configuration->Custom
Fields->"Select Field->Group Rights. If you did the first (in 3.6) set,
then that won't get the job done. You HAVE to grant "SeeCustomField"
using the second navigation in order to "See" them and "ModifyCustomField" if you want them to enter/select values. Hope this helps.
