adding [testplan-tm_custom] custom=textarea causes exception during testplan loading

[JamesThomasMoon1979]

Hi, I wanted to add a Comments field like recommended here. I added the following to conf/trac.ini

[testcaseinplan-tm_custom]
comments3 = textarea
comments3.format = wiki
comments3.label = Test Pass comments

[testplan-tm_custom]
comments3 = textarea
comments3.format = wiki
comments3.label = Test Pass comments

I restarted the webserver. Upon viewing a test plan, there is an exception

Trac detected an internal error:
KeyError: u'comments3'

If I change the field type from textarea to text then it works fine.

The full exception from the trac.log is

It looks like this is a known TODO. From testmanager/wiki.py

    def _get_custom_fields_columns(self, obj, table_columns, table_columns_map, fields):
        result = u''

        for f in fields:
            if table_columns_map[f['name']]['visible'] == 'True':
                if f['type'] == 'text':
                    result += '<td>'
                    if obj[f['name']] is not None:
                        result += obj[f['name']]
                    result += '</td>'

                # TODO Support other field types

        return result

Hi James, exactly, as explained ​here, only text custom fields are currently supported.

Please, open an enhancement request to add other field types.

I'd appreciate a patch for this, as I'm currently really busy with my job this period and most probably won't be able to work on this issue.

Ciao, Roberto

[Roberto Longobardi]

All types of custom fields are now supported!

Check out the updated documentation here.
