[rt-users] a few trivial questions about tickets

[Alex Peters]

I believe that custom fields will appear on the comment/resolve page if
they are set up as "transaction" custom fields instead of "ticket" custom
fields.  I don't know whether this is suitable for your needs though.  Is
it acceptable in your case for one ticket to have multiple Git commit
values?  If not, this is probably not a solution for you.

I don't think that there are any settings to make custom fields display
conditionally depending on the specific action being taken, but you could
possibly write callbacks to achieve this.

Ticket progress can be tracked by setting "time estimated" (and/or "time
left") and updating "time worked" as progress is made.  If you explicitly
want to display a percentage, you'd probably need to create a custom field.

For me, when I've wanted to monitor progress of a ticket at a closer level
than just "not done yet" and "done," I've split the work into multiple
child tickets instead.  It's very easy to see from a parent ticket how many
child tickets still require completion, and then there's no need to
remember to manually update time worked/completion percentage values—if
three out of five child tickets are crossed out, the parent ticket is more
or less 60% done.
