Patch #30919
openGroup Issues Custom Fields - (Form like Issues)
Added by Frederico Camara over 5 years ago. Updated 6 months ago.

Description
This patch adds a new tab in the project settings. In this tab, you can reorder and group custom fields for each tracker.
Reordering and grouping custom fields makes them appear as this for this project only in vieweing an issue and editing an issue.
It was developed for Redmine 3.2. In Redmine 3.4~, you can make a custom field take the full width, which makes these go to the bottom of the issue page. I had to adapt it so that you can still reorder the half width custom fields separated from the full width custom fields.
If it sounds confusing, see the screenshots (sorry they are in portuguese).
To apply:
patch p1 < GCF<your redmine version>.patch
touch tmp/restart.txt
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
PDF and email formatting not implemented yet.

BUGFIX: Can't delete projects, trackers, custom_fields if there is any grouping.
- Very problematic, you would have to look project by project, remove groups. This patch fixes everything.
- Other fix: the database position entry was created incorrectly. acts_as_list has to set position to null.
- A bit of code refactoring.
Consolidated patch.
This is a consolidated patch for redmine 3.2, 3.4 and 4.0. Apply just this one.

Maybe you had issues with the database migration. Migrations are versioned since Rails 5.
I'm submitting a fixed 4.0 patch. if you already have it patched, try this:
# adds a '[4.2]' to the end of first line cd <redmine directory> sed 's/ActiveRecord::Migration$/&[4.2]/' -i db/migrate/20180913211420_create_attribute_groups.rb sed 's/ActiveRecord::Migration$/&[4.2]/' -i db/migrate/20180913212008_create_attribute_group_fields.rb sed 's/ActiveRecord::Migration$/&[4.2]/' -i db/migrate/20190301162408_change_group_position_attributes.rb RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate touch tmp/restart.tmp

This is not addressed by this patch. It does not meddle with Redmine's original css widths. Maybe you should fix the width in a theme.
At this moment, this patch does not organize which information goes on the left or right column, or how much space it takes, they are distributed evenly. Redmine originally does not care which information goes where, or even the order. This is mainly to give the order more flexibility.
To have real forms in Redmine, the effort should be bigger. Redmine makes possible that different roles see different fields, and some custom fields show up only when the issue is at cartain statuses. A real form do not address any of these things.
Best Regards.

It does not make any sense. Wrong directory? Wrong command?
I used 'RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate'.

Now it's migrated successfully, thank.
I don't understand how it's work this subject.
There are new tab "Grouped Custom Fileds" in project settings, i fill Groupded Custom Fields, then press "+" and "Save" but there are nothing happened...
How it's work?

Look at the reference jpgs I posted (first attachments on this issue). Your picture looks nothing like them.
Maybe you are using an old browser or have disabled javascript, or the css is not getting through to the browser.
Updated by Yuri Azanov over 4 years ago
You are right. If change theme to Standard, it's worked nice!!!
It seem to me there are "PurpleMine2" theme trouble.
Thank you!Be healthy!
p.s. It would be nice make this option Global, for trackers (not only for each project...)

Not exactly, see that most of the patch would apply, except for lib/redmine/export/pdf/issues_pdf_helper.rb
Also, you should not assume -R (revert), as the patch must be applied.
The problem is I have found whitespaces in the source file and tried to fix that with the patch (I shouldn' have tried it). Probably maintainers fixed that concurrently. The result is a file (before the patch) somewhat different, so the patch gives errors. You may edit that part out of the patch and apply it manually, it's not that difficult. Most hunks just delete whitespaces.

The Patch GCP-4.1 works perfectly, except with PDF exporting.
The long text fields appear in a single line, going beyond the page boundaries and being cut off, as demonstrated in attached image.
I checked that the patch applied all the changes to the file issues_pdf_helper.rb like it was supposed. Do you have any idea what it could be and how I can solve this problem?

Lúcia Rodrigues,
Thanks for reporting. I think I fixed it in the code attached. Apply over previous patches.
Updated by Mischa The Evil almost 3 years ago
FREDERICO LÚCIO DE SOUZA: First, thank you for sharing your solution with the broader Redmine community. I think that this would be a good improvement to the Redmine core for instances (with projects) that use a larger amount of custom fields. I'm at the moment actually considering to start a new project which could really benefit from this feature.
I have had a quick look at your patches (more specifically: 0001-Add-Group-Issue-Custom-Fields-functionality.patch) and have some questions and remarks though:- How does the design of the implementation you've chosen for your patches compare to the design of the patch that is provided in #13839#note-8?
- Did you choose the name
groupissuescustomfields

I did not know about #13839#note-8 before writing my own. I downloaded #13839#note-8 and tried to apply it with Redmine stable from 3.0 to 4.2 but it shows errors. I have not tried to merge that patch. Just reading it, I noticed some differences:
Both patches do similar things, but there are differences:
#13839#note-8 saves changes as json to a new model, and there is no db migration code. Is it missing?
#13839#note-8 changes the layout and could insert blanks between fields. It does not group them. It has no full width code (maybe it's older then full width fields).
My patch (this one) is somewhat broader, it also works with pdf export and mail.
Neither patch seems to copy itself when copying a project (at least this doesn't).
I haven't seen how #13839#note-8 deals with adding/removing custom fields to/from a project/tracker.

No, it's plain inexperience with Rails convention. Easy fix, though.
- Where are full-width custom fields actually placed after your patch has been applied?
What I do is mix them (full-width custom fields) inbetween two column fields. They interrupt the flow of two column fields, go full width, and then the flow continues.
I just didn't like full-width custom fields being at the bottom.
Group A: f1, f2, f3w, f4, f5, f6, f7w, f8w f9; the layout would be:
Group A
f1 | f2 |
f3w | |
f4 | f6 |
f5 | |
f7w | |
f8w | |
f9 |
- In which cases is the wiki formatting toolbar actually provided?
As usual. If the formatting toolbar is set for the custom field, it shows above it, when editing the issue.
- In the screenshots you've posted it looks like the right borders of field inputs are cutoff. I don't think that's intentional. Is this still present?
Could not reproduce it now. Maybe I fixed it after I took the screenshots, or the screenshots were (badly) edited for size. I can't recall, it was so long ago.
- Do you see a way to extent this patch to also allow for grouping of default fields?
I never thought of that.
Custom fields's layout are a loop. I divide them in 3 categories: Redmine ordered, ordered but not grouped, grouped. I show these categories in that order.
Before layouting I know which custom fields would show.
Default fields code is different, the order and layout are hardcoded. I would have to break that into the layouting code, and the db layout points to the custom_field table.
Also, what if I add new fields to a project/tracker, should I put them at the end? If so I would have to mark they are ungrouped somehow, or else they would seem to be part of the last group.
- Can you update the patch to apply to the (current) trunk?
Yes, if it doesn't already.
- Can you confirm if the current test suite passes without failures/errors with your patch applied?
No, I can't. I use about a dozen plugins in production here, tests always fail. It may pass, I don't know if tests really care about the ordering of custom fields.
- Can you provide (solid) test coverage for your changes (this would be required to get it integrated within the Redmine core)?
I don't know if I have the skill. Maybe, I can try.

Lúcia Rodrigues,
Thanks for reporting. I think I fixed it in the code attached. Apply over previous patches.
Thank you Frederico for your quick support.
This fix works perfectly.
Updated by philippe lhardy 7 months ago
To pursue a current request for custom_fields grouping i ported 4.2.1 patches (pdf too) on current master branch.
i quickly checked it was working, this cannot be consedered as correctly tested.
If it can help ... For overall context see https://www.redmine.org/boards/1/topics/69072.

Previous patch port to master does nothing visible, i have to fix.
It does work, groups are by project and by tracker id, i just did select the wrong tracker.

Thank you. I made a patch to copy the issue layout when copying the project:

It can be applied over my previous patches (for redmine 4.1, maybe others), if you'd like.

Thanks Frederico,
I didn't integrate your last update for clone yet, but i reused your work and mixed with other to match a request from Orange to create a plugin to group custom fields and add potential static description.
this plugin is mixing those and was applied on latest master.
- https://www.redmine.org/issues/39530
- https://www.redmine.org/issues/40084
- https://www.redmine.org/issues/30919
As a very recent code this is to be used with care, it was not extensively tested.

Hi Philippe,
Haven't you got a git repository ? it will be better to share improvements and feedbacks ?
It may be good to add licensing information (GPL ?) too.
which versions of Redmine are supported ? 5.X ? 5.1.X ?
Best Regards

Hi Jérôme,
I rather prefer to discuss in forum : https://www.redmine.org/boards/1/topics/69072.
Kind regards,
