Thanks Gerald. I really appreciate the help.

I've looked at /opt/otrs/Kernel/Config/Defaults.pm and I see the line you 
suggested I change:

[ 'UserPhone',        'Phone',       'phone',        1, 1, 'var', '', 0 ],

Am I correct in my understanding that I am supposed to cut a chunk out of the 
Defaults.pm file and put it into the /opt/otrs/Kernel/Config.pm file which 
currently does not have any of this info? That is what I'm assuming I need to 
do but I can't quite figure out what lines I should start and stop the cut and 
paste.

I notice your snippet starts with

$Self->{CustomerUser} = {

Which is not currently in my Config.pm file so I'm assuming that is the first 
line I should enter into Config.pm somewhere between "Start your custom configs 
here!!!" and "End your custom configs here!!!"

Am I on the right track here? I pasted a section that I thought would work from 
Defaults.pm into Config.pm and then my OTRS web page stopped working. Then I 
tried to stop and restart Apache and it failed to start. I guess I should 
revert the change back. Does it matter if I left a backup copy of Config.pm in 
the same directory? It is named ConfigDOTpm.ORIGINAL and it is owned by root.

I entered the text starting with $Self->{CustomerUser} = {


    # ---------------------------------------------------- #
    # data inserted by installer                           #
    # ---------------------------------------------------- #
    # $DIBI$
    $Self->{'DefaultCharset'} = 'utf-8';

$Self->{CustomerUser} = {

Set the "required" bit to 1 in the Config.pm CustomerUser Map:

    $Self->{CustomerUser} = {

need to copy them #

I'd like to make the phone # field mandatory in the Add Customer screen of the 
Admin section. I need to do this because there is a customer requirement that 
we must record the phone # of the caller for all tickets that are called in.

Thanks in advance.
