= Add New Custom Field Types =

== Description ==
It is useful to have fields that only accept numbers, fields that only accept an entry when the ticket is created and perhaps a field that accumulates the numbers you enter?  This can be achieved with a patch to the appropriate .cs files and the addition of a little javascript.  The changes can be found in the [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/attachment/wiki/TimeTracking/CustomFieldsRev2827.patch patch file] attached.

'''Description of new types:'''

''integer''

Allows only integer values such as "12" and "-98329847" to be entered into the custom field.

''cumulative_integer''

Like integer but only allows the user to enter a value that is added to the current value. Useful for accumulating work done on a ticket or dollars spent.

''set_once_integer''

Like integer but only allows the user to set a value when the ticket is created.  From then on the value is fixed.

Syntax of ini file:

<name> = <type>

Example:

{{{
[ticket-custom]
mycustominteger = integer
mycustominteger_cumulative = cumulative_integer
mycustominteger_setonce = set_once_integer 
}}}
