Summary	0005650: Investigate/Implement Enhanced Custom Field support
Description	Provisional Ideas: 1, Allow custom fields for more object types: a) users b) machine profiles c) files d) bugnotes. 2, Possibly investigate 'multi-language custom field value support e.g. enumerations in localized language. (possibly only through additional of an individual custom_function for each enum). Presently this is not possible as we store the english value. 3, Improved administration screen to facilitate 1/2. Maybe allow 'required on X' options for additional bugs states e.g. we currently support resolved/closed. Make this generic so users can implement custom fields for their own states.
Tags	No tags attached.

Sergiodf 2008-08-19 14:28 reporter ~0019180	About point 3: I had modified 'required on resolved' to work with integer instead of boolean. This way i can specify the lower status in which the field appears. But i think it should be a lower/higher status, or better, a multiselect list where the administrator can select each status (s)he wants the field appears.

Sergiodf 2008-08-19 14:31 reporter ~0019181	About point 1.a: It will be useful Mantis notifies the user selected on the custom field. Or let the admin define it.

jazz 2016-06-24 09:01 reporter ~0053441	Is there any way through which I can show custom field in change_status_page .Here Custom field should not be required field.
