[rt-users] ModifyCustomField without SeeCustomField

[Woody - Wild Thing Safaris]

Hi all,

I did not succeed in working out how to get around it by using 
callbacks, but instead added some code to remove the values if the user 
is a member of some group.

I did this hack, which might be useful to someone someday

note i only edited the Freeform custom field file as that's all i needed 
and i preserved the oldvalue in the oldvalue= argument

in local/html/Elements/ShowCustomField line 53

% while ( my $CustomField = $CustomFields->Next ) {
% my $Values = $Object->CustomFieldValues( $CustomField->Id );
% my $count = $Values->Count;
% next if $HideEmpty and not $count;

%# skip if member of group "NoSeeCF"
% my $group = new RT::Group($RT::SystemUser);
% $group->LoadUserDefinedGroup("NoSeeCF");
% next if ($group->HasMember($session{'CurrentUser'}->PrincipalObj) );

   <tr id="CF-<%$CustomField->id%>-ShowRow">
     <td class="label"><% $CustomField->Name %>:</td>
     <td class="value<% $count ? '' : ' no-value' %>">

in local/html/Elements/EditCustomFieldFreeForm line 52

% if ( defined $Cols ) {
size="<% $Cols %>" \
% }

%# remove value if member of NoSeeCF
% my $group = new RT::Group($RT::SystemUser);
% $group->LoadUserDefinedGroup("NoSeeCF");
% if ($group->HasMember($session{'CurrentUser'}->PrincipalObj) ) {
class="CF-<%$CustomField->id%>-Edit" oldvalue="<% defined($Default) ? 
$Default : ''%>"  value="" />
% } else {
class="CF-<%$CustomField->id%>-Edit" value="<% defined($Default) ? 
$Default : ''%>" />
% }

Thanks Matt
