Mandatory Custom Fields in 3.8

RT Users
1

Greetings all,

I was wondering if there is a way to oblige users to fill in custom fields
before resolving tickets.
Can we do that in RT 3.8.0 ? I created a custom field of type “Select one
value” and I would like the support team to select a value before closing
each ticket. That would help for the end of the semester statistics.

Thanks

You can make it “mandatory” in the CF configuration, then you can add
the Callback EditCustomFieldsOnUpdate - Request Tracker Wiki
to let you’re users edit CFs when clocking on resolve.

Yes. This is what the “Validation” field does for Custom Fields. Go to
your custom field’s edit page and select:

(?#Mandatory).

If you’re adventurous, this can be an arbitrary Perl regular expression.

Is it possible to require a mandatory field using a regex? Unfortunately
I’m not at a terminal where I can get into RT and check, and I’ll
probably forget by then anyway. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks.
