     36'''Note:''' Versions of Trac prior to 0.9 did not have the ''type'' field, but instead provided a ''severity'' field and different default values for the ''priority'' field. This change was done to simplify the ticket model by removing the somewhat blurry distinction between ''priority'' and ''severity''. However, the old model is still available if you prefer it: just add/modify the default values of the ''priority'' and ''severity'', and optionally hide the ''type'' field by removing all the possible values through [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin].

    57 == Advanced: Preset values for New Tickets from URL ==
    5861
    59 To create a link to the new-ticket form filled with preset values, you need to call the /newticket? URL with variable=value separated by &.
     62== Default Values for Drop-Down Fields ==
     63
     64The option selected by default for the various drop-down fields can be set in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini], in the `[ticket]` section:
     65
     66 * `default_type`: Default ticket type
     67 * `default_component`: Name of the component selected by default
     68 * `default_version`: Name of the default version
     69 * `default_milestone`: Name of the default milestone
     70 * `default_priority`: Default priority value
     71 * `default_severity`: Default severity value
     72
     73If any of these options are omitted, the default value will either be the first in the list, or an empty value, depending on whether the field in question is required to be set.
     74
     75
     76== Hiding Fields and Adding Custom Fields ==
     77
     78Many of the default ticket fields can be hidden from the ticket web interface simply by removing all the possible values through [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin]. This of course only applies to drop-down fields, such as ''type'', ''priority'', ''severity'', ''component'', ''version'' and ''milestone''.
     79
     80Trac also lets you add your own custom ticket fields. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more information.
     81
     82
     83== Assign-to as Drop-Down List ==
     84
     85If the list of possible ticket owners is finite, you can change the ''assign-to'' ticket field from a text input to a drop-down list. This is done by setting the `restrict_owner` option of the `[ticket]` section in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini] to “true”. In that case, Trac will use the list of all users who have logged in and set their email address to populate the drop-down field.
     86
     87''Note that this feature is '''still experimental as of version 0.9'''. There is no way to only display a subset of all known users as possible ticket owners. Nor is there a convenient way to remove emeritus users short of directly modifying the database.''

     90== Preset Values for New Tickets ==

     92To create a link to the new-ticket form filled with preset values, you need to call the `/newticket?` URL with variable=value separated by &.
