ITSM: Free Text Fields[SOLVED]

Post by nbacon »

Hello,

I have added a free text field to a Work Order (Ref ID #), but it is showing as a dropbox and I need it to be a text box which the builder can populate freely. I cannot find anything in the documentation on how to accomplish this.

This forum article touches on it, but still doesn't clearly answer how to do it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

you need not to enable freekeytext , just enable freetextkey without value; just leave it empty

I apologize, but I still can't get it to work.

I would like this result:

TFS Ref ID: ________


I have these options:

WorkOrderFreeKey1
Key:
Content:
WorkOrderFreeText1
Key:
Content:


Are you saying that I should leave "FreeText" disabled and only populate the KEY and CONTENT values under "FreeKey"? I've tried that and it's not working......

Thanks

Ok, I've figured it out. Thank you for the response!!! Are you aware of any way to shorten the field to 20 characters? =)

Ok, thanks again. It's functional, so I think I'll just leave it as is.
