Customizing Sugar - Adding new dropdown field

[sandadps]

I want to customize the "Bugs" module. I want to include a new dropdown field called "Projects" which should display all the projects created by users. Any new project added by any user should appear into the dropdown immediately. How do I do this? Please give me some idea. I have gone through "Sugar Installation and Administration Guide" and have seen that it is possible to select any one out of the predefined dropdowns (like product_category_dom which displays the list of all the product categories).

Also once this display of dropdown is done, I want to do some change in functionality.

Existing functionality:
As you have probably seen, by default, if a bug is reported there is no option to associate it to any project. However, going to the "Projects" section and selecting any project shows the "bugs" section in the bottom where we can select a bug and it gets associated with the project.


Change in functionality (I want):

I want that while reporting a bug, assuming that user gets to chose a project name from the projects dropdown (in the report bug form), the bug should get associated to the selected project (when the user submits the form).


I am very much new to Sugar and have tried to go through the code but it looks so puzzling to me ... so many classes... and functions... I currently have no idea where to make changes to fulfill my requirement. Please help.

You need to create a logic_hook before_save into Bugs module to create a relationship between the current bug and the selected project.
