To list,
When we were in 3.6.4, the category for a Custom Field would show in the
"Modify Ticket" screen. This allowed a user to select the category from a
drop-down tab and thereby shorten the list of available values to choose
from for that CF.
Now in 3.8.7, that category list/drop-down no longer shows. I did link
the category to another CF and all those values are valid for the *
category*. It just doesn’t show up at all when in the "Modify Ticket’
screen. This is not what my users are used to, as we started using the *
category* field in the first place because they didn’t want to scroll thru a
bunch of values that didn’t apply to their respective groups (the
categoryitself).
Is anyone else getting this?
Thanks in advance.

To list,
Any more on this? Is there a patch I can apply that will use the category
for a shorter value list?
Thanks.

Thats a new feature of 3.8.7. Read the Changelog and you’ll find a note
about it. For older installations there is a conversion script included. I
ran it but had problems afterwards that my Oracle based install of RT didn’t
work anymore. I think its fixed in the upcoming 3.8.8 or it was an issue in
3.8.6 and fixed in 3.8.7.

To List,
Upon further testing, I’ve discovered that the Category of a Custom Field
only disappears from the Update Ticket screen when that Category is linked
to another CF. When I remove the link, the Category shows up again. Is this
normal? What is the reasoning for this?

You really need to provide small screenshots and a reproduction method
for this, it sounds like you’ve misconfigured this new feature.

Kevin,
Sorry it took so long for me to reply on this. I have a Custom Field named
“QA Approver” and it has a Category that is linked to another CF named
“ITBS-Dev-Group”. A snap shot is below:
When looking at the CF in a ticket, there is no category drop-down to
shorten the display list:
and:
How do I get the ticket display to act like it did for 3.6.4 for categories?
P.S. If these screen shots don’t display, I’ve put them in a Word Doc and
attached them
Thanks.

Sorry it took so long for me to reply on this. I have a Custom Field named “QA Approver” and
it has a Category that is linked to another CF named “ITBS-Dev-Group”. A snap shot is below:
What happens when you apply ITBS-Dev-Group to the same queue where
you’re trying to use QA Approver?
-kevin
Kevin,
Kinda wierd. If I apply the CF “ITBS-Dev-Group” to the Queue AND I had
modified the CF to have that CF as a linked category, the display shows the
CF “ITBS-Dev-Froup” as a separate CF to be selected. However, if I apply the
CF “ITBS-Dev-Group” and do NOT link that CF as the category with any other
CF, then the display acts like it did in 3.6.4, which I think is the correct
display. IT shows as a drop-down right above each CF that applied to that
Queue. I would think that if I checked the link box to link one CF to
another as a category, it would show it each time right above the CF that
has a category. Instead, it is the other way around. I have to “uncheck” the
link box to get it right.

Yes, and when you select a value from ITBS-Dev-Group it will load the proper
set of values into QA Approver.
This is the way this UI works in 3.8
You do not want the 3.6 behavior, it was broken in an incredible
number of ways.
-kevin
Kevin,
Yes, I see now. I use this Category(value) for 3 different Custom FIelds. If
I link them and then apply it, the user only has to select their category
once and then it’s set for all the CF’s that use it. Kool. That saves a few
selection entries and therefore time.
Thanks.
