Hi!

I realize this bug is a cause of my hacking attempt and thus not visible on a standard install, but here goes:

I was to rearrange fields, including 6 custom fields on the issue add/edit form (app/views/issues/_form.rhtml). I assumed I could refer to the specific fields using i.e.

<p><% custom_field_tag_with_label @custom_values[3] %></p>

...this works when adding new issues, but when editing an issue the custom fields loose their data/selected value. Saving the issue will save empty values (or scream about empty required fields ;-) )

Some debugging revealed what seems to be the problem: The custom_fields_tag function passes a local variable custom_value to the HTML-field functions (defined in the form_helper.rb), i.e. text_field, which takes instance variables. From api.rubyonrails.com:

text_field(:post, :title, :size => 20)
# => <input type="text" id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="20" value="#{@post.title}" />

...which is why I reckon it works when looping over the @custom_values, @custom_value is correct when the input field is being assigned its value.

I have attached a quick fix for custom_fields_helper.rb to make this work.
I found the bug in 0.6.3, but the behavior is the same in subversion.
