Custom field with dropdown menu
Added by Stanislav Kollov over 15 years ago
Dear All,
I have created custom field for my tracker, marked is as necessary. Search engine is case sensitive and some times different users fill this area in different names, something like Sofe/sofe/ sofe/sofe ... etc My idea is make this field as dropdown menu to prevent such problem.
Thanks in advice...
WBR,
Stas

I think you can apply a regex expression on the field - something - like allow 4 chars only no, with the first letter being capital or like all smalleters or something and then in the name of the field give them a hint like Favorite Food (all small letters)
I know it's not great - but that's how I worked it out.

/^[a-z]{4}/
like this will match only 4 letter combination and will take a-z at the beginning of the string . Will not allow caps
this is a Test right here
Will match only "this"

TKS Nick!
But it's not what I'm looking for, but it can be a solution. I'll try study source code and find out a solutions.

Yeah I agree that a predefined dropdown easier but at least you can validate data...
