Custom field types

Just wondering if a field of type ‘date’ will ever be available. Like to be
able to store dates, right now everything is pretty much a text field. It
means a user can store a date in any format they want, and no date
manipulation will be available. Any plans on allowing more field types in
the future?

Thanks
Dave

Validated custom fields (including date types) are something that we’re looking at for RT 3.6.
Currently, they’re an unfunded wishlist item for us. We’d like to do
them, but our exact plans depend on customer interest.
