e.g. define a custom field:

my_severity.label = My Severity
my_severity.options = hard|easy|medium

and mylar displays "My Severity" with a free text field.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2007-01-25 14:44:37 EST
Yes, that would be great. Recent versions of Trac's XmlRpc plugin allow to retrieve information about ticket custom fields (see http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/651) but this API is currently not used by Mylar.
Comment 2 Steffen Pingel CLA 2007-02-07 23:52:59 EST
This will require revision 1278 of the XML-RPC Plugin that adds ticket.getTicketFields().
Comment 3 Mark Drew CLA 2007-03-06 06:32:23 EST
I am not sure if this helps, but when using trac, and I try to update all the fields (milestone, status, etc) I dont get any values for any of the fields and the error that is given is:

Mark, could you detail how the stack trace is related to this report? If it is not, please open a separate bug and include information about your Mylar, Trac and Eclipse version. 
Comment 5 Steffen Pingel CLA 2007-03-16 14:48:23 EDT
Added combo boxes for custom fields. Checkbox fields are also displayed in a combo box. This needs to be fixed when bug 160389 has been resolved.

Comment 7 Steffen Pingel CLA 2007-03-16 20:14:18 EDT
Check boxes will be addressed as a separate issue.
