Custom field creation

I’m creating a new user custom field in rt 3.8.8 and I’m not seeing in
the ui till I manually update table rt3.ObjectCustomFields with the
values(in seeing in the ui I mean on the ticket /ui It does appear on
the edit custom fields page under config). This is only occurring on my
production db. When I point my dev box at the production db I see the
same issue. I have given the user admin access to the db and it is
still failing. Nothing is in the rt logs other than debug messages from
External auth:

bug in RT-3.8.0 and RT-3.8.1
(/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/html/Callbacks/ExternalAu
th/autohandler/Auth:14)

. The rt siteconfig is set to debug and still I’m seeing nothing.

Bernard,

A couple of questions:

  1. is this a GLOBAL CF? If not, it needs to be “Applied” to the Queues where
    it should reside.
  2. Did you grant rights for this CF by Group or by Queue? It makes a
    difference. I can create all the Global or Queue-level CF’s I want, but if I
    don’t grant the rights to “see” it, no one will. The same applies for
    modifying the CF.

Also, I would NEVER modify the Custom Field Tables (there are 4 of them)
manually unless you make sure you keep them “insync”. That also includes the
ACL table which maintains the rights to see & modify & admin these Custom
Fields. You could easily create a situation that will be bvery messy to
correct.

A User custom field can be applied from Configuration → Global →
Custom Fields → Users after which it will show up on Configuration →
Users → pick a user in a Custom Fields box
