(I just want to make WorkPhone and Address1 visible) If I modify $rthome/lib/RT/User.pm directly the fields do show up as visible but that is not how http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/CustomizingWithOverlays leads me to believe it should be done and its messy on upgrades. The local overlay method works in our rt38 production instance just fine.
