Description
I see that issue #21705 will allow for long text custom fields to be edited and viewed more similarly to the Description field. The examples given are "Description, Release Notes, Testing Steps", etc.
I don't believe that patch will add the feature I am looking for.
When performing a query, after "Group results by" there is an option for "Show". The only choice is "Description". Choosing this will show the description full width beneath each row. I found that this is controlled by a variable in the QueryColumn class called @inline. The QueryCustomFieldColumn class extends the QueryColumn class and hard-codes the @inline variable to 'true'. I would like to be able to "Show" long text custom fields similar to the Description.
This would allow, say, a query where "status is 'testing'" and have the search results show 'Testing steps' beneath each item. Or, a query where "version is 3.3" and show "Release Notes" beneath each item.
Currently when you select "description", the description is shown, but without a label. If you can choose custom fields, then the text would need a label. Such as "Release notes: blah"
I haven't been able to test this against trunk. I wasn't able to get a copy of trunk working, so I don't know for sure if this was also resolved in addition to #21705.
I've tried to search thoroughly if this has already been requested or implemented some other way, and I can't find anything. I also did a search for every instance of "call_hook" in the code, and I don't think this can be implemented with a plugin.
