RT 3.8.2 - CF Enter One Value With Autocomplete non-functional?

Hi folks:

Been researching this one all morning, and can’t find a reason for it. I
have a CF, enter one value with autocomplete, populated with 10 random
values. When starting to enter values, nothing happens. Looking in the
page source, it is evidently an AJAX thing, so I tried on three browsers
(Firefox, IE, Safari), all didn’t work. Apache error logs indicate no
problem, access logs give 200’s on Helper/Autocomplete/CustomFieldValues.

All the hard stuff I’ve done with RT has ended up being easy, but some of
the easy stuff like this is turning out to be a challenge. Anyone managed
to get this to work? I search the lists and issue list, but can’t see where
anything has been reported.

thanks,

Can you try with SVN HEAD of 3.8? We’ve found and fixed some bugs
related to the autocompleting CF type after 3.8.2

I actually just sorted it out, and it was related to the apache
configuration. I originally had it configured using WebPath of “/rt”.
Using Firebug, I debugged the AJAX requests/responses for a test field, and
the callback was to “/Helpers/…”, rather than “/rt/Helpers…”. I spend
a few hours and couldn’t get it to work with a WebPath, so I reconfigured to
a blank value, and now everything works.

Thanks for the prompt response. I’ll try w/ SVN HEAD for 3.8 on my laptop
and see if I can reproduce the problem.

What we actually fixed was related to “jumpy” and misplaged results
lists. If you can repro this with SVN HEAD, please report it to
rt-bugs@fsck.com

Make sure you’re up to rev 17941 (17939 should fix the issue with
WebPath you were seeing).
