post (to the wiki or mailing list) the results of:
cd /path/to/rt && diff -U4 {share,local}/html/User/Prefs.html
Thanks!

Interesting… This is already working in 3.4.4

What’s the interface for initially setting a custom field for a user? I’ve
added a ‘user’ custom field but it does not appear on the User config
screen, because it uses this:
my $CFs = $UserObj->CustomFields;
and there are no custom fields for this user yet.
I have the same question about group custom fields.
Thanks,

There is an annoyance that you have to set the custom field
to be a global custom field. Since all user custom fields
are global this should be fixed in RT.

No, all current user custom fields are global. There’s nothing about
the implementation that requires that.

Thanks Todd - that did the trick.

No, all current user custom fields are global. There’s nothing about
the implementation that requires that.What can they be “applied” to other than global? For the time
being shouldn’t the web interface create them as global?
Last time I tried, you could actually apply a custom field to an
individual user. Why you’d want to, I have no idea. But there’s always
somebody who does.

I can see why you might want to apply a field to an individual group (or
set of groups) though…
Incidentally, I was wondering why there are no ‘queue’ custom fields,
similar to group & user CFs?
Thanks,
Steve

Because nobody has written the code?

Not it the web interface for 3.4.4.
Seems like a better application of attributes…
