Redmine

Hi Christopher,

have a look at this section in the custom fields documentation: RedmineCustomFields
I think it's exactly what you are looking for.

Greetings,
Bernhard

Thanks for your reply. This part worked out as stated in my initial message. I have defined the URL part with input value 12345?dir=/Folder-Name being appended by %value%, thus the result is being interpreted as https://cloud.domain.tld/apps/files/%value%.

My problem is being too stupid to set the Regex correctly in order to append %m1%, %m2% instead of %value%, m1 being @12345?dir=/ and %m2% being Folder-Name.

Edit: I have no clue how to edit comments here, thus the correction added here:

Oh yeah now I see it. Sorry, I didn't read your post word for word.
Your problem gets a bit tricky there. You cannot influence the form the input values of the custom field are displayed. The regex is mainly used to check the format of the input value and can be used to extract parts used by the URL. It does not affect the display of the value itself.
What you could do is to use the 'long text' field instead of the normal one. The advantage of the 'long-text' field is that you can add formatting like in the wiki pages. Then you can create the link with whatever text you like to display.

If you are interested and if you have the ability to edit redmine code, a few years ago I wrote a new method that allows you to do exactly what you ask. It seemed like a missing feature. In the end I didn't publish the patch because I had no time to write the test method too. :-)
If you are interested I'll share it here.

At least, it would be cool to see the solution. This could be nice feature.

Hi Bernhard,

Finally find time to post a patch for this.

Thanks
