     1= Custom Ticket Fields = 
     2Trac supports adding custom, user-defined fields to the ticket module. Using custom fields, you can add typed, site-specific properties to tickets. 
     3 
     4== Configuration == 
     5Configuring custom ticket fields is done in the [wiki:TracIni trac.ini] file. All field definitions should be under a section named `[ticket-custom]`. 
     6 
     7The syntax of each field definition is: 
     8{{{ 
     9 FIELD_NAME = TYPE 
     10 (FIELD_NAME.OPTION = VALUE) 
     11 ... 
     12}}} 
     13The example below should help to explain the syntax. 
     14 
     15=== Available Field Types and Options === 
     16 * '''text''': A simple (one line) text field. 
     17   * label: Descriptive label. 
     18   * value: Default value. 
     19   * order: Sort order placement. (Determines relative placement in forms.) 
     20 * '''checkbox''': A boolean value check box. 
     21   * label: Descriptive label. 
     22   * value: Default value (0 or 1). 
     23   * order: Sort order placement. 
     24 * '''select''': Drop-down select box. Uses a list of values. 
     25   * options: List of values, separated by '''|''' (vertical pipe). 
     26   * value: Default value (Item #, starting at 0). 
     27   * order: Sort order placement. 
     28 * '''radio''': Radio buttons. Essentially the same as '''select'''. 
     29   * label: Descriptive label. 
     30   * options: List of values, separated by '''|''' (vertical pipe). 
     31   * value: Default value (Item #, starting at 0). 
     32   * order: Sort order placement. 
     33 * '''textarea''': Multi-line text area. 
     34   * label: Descriptive label. 
     35   * value: Default text. 
     36   * cols: Width in columns. 
     37   * rows: Height in lines. 
     38   * order: Sort order placement. 
     39 
     40=== Sample Config === 
     41{{{ 
     42[ticket-custom] 
     43 
     44test_one = text 
     45test_one.label = Just a text box 
     46 
     47test_two = text 
     48test_two.label = Another text-box 
     49test_two.value = Just a default value 
     50 
     51test_three = checkbox 
     52test_three.label = Some checkbox 
     53test_three.value = 1 
     54 
     55test_four = select 
     56test_four.label = My selectbox 
     57test_four.options = one|two|third option|four 
     58test_four.value = 2 
     59 
     60test_five = radio 
     61test_five.label = Radio buttons are fun 
     62test_five.options = uno|dos|tres|cuatro|cinco 
     63test_five.value = 1 
     64 
     65test_six = textarea 
     66test_six.label = This is a large textarea 
     67test_six.value = Default text 
     68test_six.cols = 60 
     69test_six.rows = 30 
     70}}} 
     71 
     72''Note: To make an entering an option for a `select` type field optional, specify a leading `|` in the `fieldname.options` option.'' 
     73 
     74=== Reports Involving Custom Fields === 
     75 
     76The SQL required for TracReports to include custom ticket fields is relatively hard to get right. You need a `JOIN` with the `ticket_custom` field for every custom field that should be involved. 
     77 
     78The following example includes a custom ticket field named `progress` in the report: 
     79{{{ 
     80#!sql 
     81SELECT p.value AS __color__, 
     82   id AS ticket, summary, component, version, milestone, severity, 
     83   (CASE status WHEN 'assigned' THEN owner||' *' ELSE owner END) AS owner, 
     84   time AS created, 
     85   changetime AS _changetime, description AS _description, 
     86   reporter AS _reporter, 
     87  (CASE WHEN c.value = '0' THEN 'None' ELSE c.value END) AS progress 
     88  FROM ticket t 
     89     LEFT OUTER JOIN ticket_custom c ON (t.id = c.ticket AND c.name = 'progress') 
     90     JOIN enum p ON p.name = t.priority AND p.type='priority' 
     91  WHERE status IN ('new', 'assigned', 'reopened') 
     92  ORDER BY p.value, milestone, severity, time 
     93}}} 
     94 
     95Note in particular the `LEFT OUTER JOIN` statement here.
