Drop down menu

RT Users
1

Hi,

I want to show the Custom Fields in a drop down menu, rather than in a
list.

Does anybody know how I can tell RT to show CF in a drop down menu? I
assume there is a way to tell RT to show the database results in a drop
down menu?

I have tried to use SelectCustomFieldvalue, but I only get errors. Doen
anybody know however, where SelectCustomFieldValue is used in the RT
code?

copy rt\Elements\EditCustomFields to
rt\local\html\Elements\EditCutsomFields

edit rt\local\html\Elements\EditCutsomFields

at the bottom you will find:

<%ARGS>
$Object => undef
$CustomField => undef
$NamePrefix => undef
$Rows => 5
$Cols => 15
$Default => undef
</%ARGS>

change the $Rows value to 1

$Rows => 1

that’s it…

Thanks,

I’ve already tried that, but I don’t get a drop down menu, I still have
to scroll down.

What do you mean by “drop dwon list”?
HTML standard has only checkboxes, radio buttons and select elements
that allow you to choose one/more values.

I just made a mod to Elements/EditCustomFieldSelect to do this - I just changed

size=“<%$Rows%>”

to

size=“<% $Multiple ? $Rows : 1 %>”

This will still display a multiple-select element as a multi-line list. If
you want ALL select elements to be displayed with just one line, you could
use size=“1”, or omit the size attribute altogether.
