Summary0023377: Textarea custom field entry missing from email
Description

Hello,

Although text was entered in the text box corresponding to a custom field available on the report issue page, that text is missing from the email generated upon creation of the issue. The mantis_custom_field_table row for the custom field is as follows:

+----+---------------+------+-----------------+---------------+--------------+----------------+-----------------+------------+------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------+----------------+-----------+
| id | name | type | possible_values | default_value | valid_regexp | access_level_r | access_level_rw | length_min | length_max | require_report | require_update | display_report | display_update | require_resolved | display_resolved | display_closed | require_closed | filter_by |
+----+---------------+------+-----------------+---------------+--------------+----------------+-----------------+------------+------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------+----------------+-----------+
| 23 | Custom Textarea Field | 10 | | | | 10 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
+----+---------------+------+-----------------+---------------+--------------+----------------+-----------------+------------+------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------+----------------+-----------+

The row in the email for the generated email shows a blank entry next to the custom field in question:

The following issue has been SUBMITTED.
...
Custom Textarea Field:

Are there other config updates necessary in order for the relevant info to be included in emails? Note that the View Issue Details page shows the proper entry for the textarea custom field.

Thanks,
Ryan.

Hi Atrol,

Many thanks for the very fast response and fix.

Two questions, please:

  • I presume that the fixes to core/custom_field_api.php will be available in an upcoming MantisBT version update (please correct me if I'm wrong). If so, do you know which version (and when) that update would be made official?
  • In the meantime, so as to prevent confusion, is it possible to suppress this custom textarea field from being enumerated in emails (so that the blank entry will just be excluded for now)?

Thanks again,
Ryan.

Please disregard my question about which version, as I see you have noted 2.7.0 as the target version (I didn't see a planned release date in the roadmap - is there an ETA).

My email suppression question remains.

Thanks,
Ryan.

is there an ETA

Not really, I assume it will be first week in October.
@vboctor might comment.

is it possible to suppress this custom textarea field from being enumerated in emails

You would have to change source for it, there is no option to suppress the field.
