Custom fields at resolution time?

Hi,

I have a group of users asking if it’s possible to use custom fields
when they resolve a ticket so they can later work out basic statistics
from the database to see what type of problem is getting the greatest
number of resolutions in a particular queue.

Does anyone have any code which would allow them to do this or a work
around? The only other way I can think of doing it is have them type a
tag into the resolution message and use that to search on but that seems
pretty messy.

Thanks,

Nick

Custom fields are definitely the way to go for this. I’m currently working
on modifying my Update.html to display the appropriate CFs need for
resolving a ticket when the DefaultStatus is resolved to turn this into a
one step process for most cases. I routinely do a query for each queue to
make sure that every ticket that is resolved has a value set for the
appropriate CFs.
