Hi Alex As Volker Lipper so kindly said, I starting going through the whole admin manual! After some 200 pages I got to the "Core: TicketFreeText" chapter - here I believe is my answer (or at least part of it).
Using Config Options: Ticket -> Core::TicketFreeText, I then enabled "TicketFreeKey1", "TicketFreeText1" etc. and added various options. So good so far... ... however, I don't see the 'Free Fields' I have defined, in the new ticket window. You mention I need to modify the source-code in my DTL-files of my ticket-compose-webpages. Having done a some research, I've uncommented the relevant lines in "..\otrs\Kernel\Output\HTML\Standard\AgentTicketCompose.dtl". I also think I need to change something in "..\otrs\Kernel\Config.pm" but I'm confused as to exactly what? I hate asking so many questions but I'm finding it very difficult to do customisations because I'm either not finding the documentation or am not reading it right. Sorry, but I would appreciate any further help here. Thanks. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Alexander Scholler Gesendet: Dienstag, 24.

I think a wiki would be helpful, a german inofficial wiki is just being released. I hope it can help merging all the existing OTRS-admin-known-how around the world in one place. > what's the best way of doing this Right now, I suggest to use side-specific google-search on lists.otrs.org. > I am also no programmer and thought lots can be done via a browser (in > Admin, System, SysConfig...). For instance, I would like to add a few drop > down lists when creating a new "Phone-Ticket" or "Email-Ticket" i.e. "Software" and "Hardware" dropdown lists populated with pre-defined values - I have no idea where to start... You have to use free text fields and modify your DTL-files (you have to modify the source-code very slightly) of your ticket-compose-webpages => search the Mailing-archives for details...
