Hey there. Ticket Freefields always consist of a Freekey (defining what's in the field) and the Freetext (giving the actual content).
To use those, you first have to define them in the sysconfig at Config Options: Ticket -> Core::TicketFreeText Now they are reachable via the 'Freefield' Option in the Ticket Zoom. So far, so good. To fill in the fields at creation of the ticket or when moving or such, you have to manipulate the Frontend::Agent::Ticket::Views. F. e. the Frontend::Agent::Ticket::ViewPhoneNew when you want your agents to collect the data while answering calls. Here you can define for each view if a certain Freefield is available or not. For incoming mails there're two different approaches: PostmasterFilters (OTRS internal rules) or the X-OTRS header (externally collected by a web interface). PostmasterFilters can apply different ticket attributes by given rules. F. e.: Sent contains @myreseller.com --> Freekey1 = 'CustomerType' Freetext1 = 'Reseller'. (Note that its obligatory to first define the FreefieldKey or the Freefield won't be filled.) X-OTRS headers can add to an email automatically generated - such as from a web form designed for customer requests. Note that external X-OTRS headers will be overwritten by the ones added by the PostmasterFilter! Hope that helped...

I am trying to make it so when a customer requests a new ticket, there is an additional line to ask for say a MAC address. I tried what Ali said, and ran into the same issues. What are we doing wrong or missing? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ali M.

How can I create and use those freetext field The documentation is very brief about this, it just describe the api, which remains confusing! I opened SysConfig, selected the ticket group, selected the subgrop Core::Ticketfreetext. In there I can see 16x4 entries for the freetext field Whats are the key entries (ex: TicketFreeKey1) for? and what are the text entries (ex: TicketFreeText1) for? Any, I checked all entries for the for the first freetext field Went to the phone-ticket screen, but no new fields were entered? I went to the cutomer interface, nothing there too!!! Is there another thing I should do outside or inside sysconfig to make the new fields appear? Or did I get completely wrong?
