| | 34 | '''Note:''' Versions of Trac prior to 0.9 did not have the ''type'' field, but instead provided a ''severity'' field and different default values for the ''priority'' field. This change was done to simplify the ticket model by removing the somewhat blurry distinction between ''priority'' and ''severity''. However, the old model is still available if you prefer it: just add/modify the default values of the ''priority'' and ''severity'', and optionally hide the ''type'' field by removing all the possible values through [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin]. |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | '''Note:''' the [trac:TicketTypes type], [trac:TicketComponent component], version, priority and severity fields can be managed with [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] or with the [trac:WebAdmin WebAdmin] plugin. |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | '''Note:''' Description of the builtin ''priority'' values is available at [trac:TicketTypes#Whyistheseverityfieldgone TicketTypes] |
| 57 | | To create a link to the new-icket form filled with preset values, you need to call the /newticket? URL with variable=value separated by &. |
| | 63 | The option selected by default for the various drop-down fields can be set in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini], in the `[ticket]` section: |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | |
| | 68 | * `default_component`: Name of the component selected by default |
| | 69 | * `default_milestone`: Name of the default milestone |
| | 70 | * `default_priority`: Default priority value |
| | 71 | * `default_severity`: Default severity value |
| | 72 | * `default_type`: Default ticket type |
| | 73 | * `default_version`: Name of the default version |
| | 74 | |
| | 75 | If any of these options are omitted, the default value will either be the first in the list, or an empty value, depending on whether the field in question is required to be set. |
| | 76 | |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | == Hiding Fields and Adding Custom Fields == |
| | 79 | |
| | 80 | Many of the default ticket fields can be hidden from the ticket web interface simply by removing all the possible values through [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin]. This of course only applies to drop-down fields, such as ''type'', ''priority'', ''severity'', ''component'', ''version'' and ''milestone''. |
| | 81 | |
| | 82 | Trac also lets you add your own custom ticket fields. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more information. |
| | 83 | |
| | 84 | |
| | 85 | == Assign-to as Drop-Down List == |
| | 86 | |
| | 87 | If the list of possible ticket owners is finite, you can change the ''assign-to'' ticket field from a text input to a drop-down list. This is done by setting the `restrict_owner` option of the `[ticket]` section in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini] to “true”. In that case, Trac will use the list of all users who have accessed the project to populate the drop-down field. |
| | 88 | |
| | 89 | To appear in the dropdown list, a user needs be registered with the project, ''i.e.'' a user session should exist in the database. Such an entry is automatically created in the database the first time the user submits a change in the project, for example when editing the user's details in the ''Settings'' page, or simply by authenticating if the user has a login. Also, the user must have `TICKET_MODIFY` [TracPermissions permissions]. |

| | 95 | == Preset Values for New Tickets == |
| | 96 | |
| | 97 | To create a link to the new-ticket form filled with preset values, you need to call the `/newticket?` URL with variable=value separated by &. |
