Categorizing ticket fields in Trac

Important

I've misspelled 'categorized' to 'catagorized' in old 1.x versions, which I have fixed in 2.0+ version. As a result if you are upgrading from 1.x you should do a replacement in trac.ini .

Description

This plugin's purpose is to categorize ticket fields.

This plugin can help in the following situations:

  • Your ticket has a lot of fields and need to be compartimentalised for usability purposes.
  • The fields of your ticket that are available varies under different conditions.
  • Some fields of a ticket should only be visible to an authorized user (not implemented).

Installation

  1. Install the plugin just like any other, see TracPlugins for general instructions.
  2. Edit your trac.ini file:
    1. Enable the plugin:
      [components]
      categorizedfields.categorizedfields = enabled
      
    2. Create a [categorized-fields] section, and add the categories, for example:
      [categorized-fields]
      # declare a category in syntax "(category_id) = (category_display_name)"
      cat1 = category_one
      
      # specify the hide condition in syntax "(category_id).hide_when_(condition-field) = (field-value1)[, (field-value2), ..]"
      cat1.hide_when_status = new, closed
      
      # the order of category: the smaller the index, the closer the category is to the top
      cat1.index = 1
      
    3. In [ticket-custom] section, specify your fields with category property:
      [ticket-custom]
      custom_field1 = text
      
      # declare one field with category in syntax "(field_id).category = (category_id)"
      custom_field1.category = cat1
      
      # the order of field: the smaller the index, the closer the field is to the top
      custom_field1.index = 1
