Custom user and ticket fields - from SOAP

Post by thepurpleblob »

I am writing a webservice integration from another app to OTRS (I am not hugely familiar with OTRS).

I have a couple of requirements and wonder if they can be done. I need to add some new custom fields to both the customer user record and to tickets (to reflect values present in my client system). I also need to be able to set them through the SOAP services.

Is anything like this possible? I am very reluctant to hack OTRS if I can avoid it (especially as I have never coded perl before :) )

Thanks

UPDATE:
Ok.. I found a section in the docs called 'Using external backends' (which I missed because I wouldn't call this external, but anyway). CustomerUser customer user fields are now sorted. I still need to try the SOAP call.

I still can't find any info for extending ticket fields unfortunately.

UPDATE UPDATE:

Soap works great for custom user fields.

I found some mention of FreeText fields for Tictets which sounds vaguely likely but I don't understand what they are or how to configure them. I found the settings in sysconfig but I don't understand. It doesn't seem to be documented :(
