How do I change a field to "list box" ?

[endrejob]

When I add a field to a form it is not functioning properly. It seems to filter incorrectly when using fieds that I add to a form.

For example adding "Assigned to" field to the "Advance Search" form of the bug tracker will produce this problem but any other field that you add also has the same issue.

You do the following:
Admin -> Studio -> Bug Tracker -> Layout -> Search -> Advance Search ->
-> Pull the "Assigned to" field from hidden to Default -> Press "Save and Deploy" ->
-> Clisk on "Bug Tracker" tab -> Advance Search ->
-> Click on the Search button next to the "Assigned to" field -> Select one of the users ->
-> after pressing "Search" it is not finding the proper records

The problem may be that these fieds are added not as List Boxes but as "type in" single line fields which do not return the values correctly.

Question: How can I change the display of these fields to the usual "scrollable boxes" instead of the single line field?

Please let me know if you know the answer. I have spent many hours trying to find a solution.
Thanks your for your help,
Endre

Hi Endre

It is so weird because by default the assigned user is in the Advanced Search as a multiselect field, but anyway:
Edit the file: custom/modules/Bugs/metadata/searchdefs.php

And add this field into advanced_search array:

                             array('name' => 'assigned_user_id', 'type' => 'enum', 'label' => 'LBL_ASSIGNED_TO', 'function' => array('name' => 'get_user_array', 'params' => array(false))),

Thanks Andre,
You sound amazingly knowledgeable.

I will give it a try and let you know it it worked. Hopefully someone will also fix it in the original source code as well so others do not need to go through this trouble.

Thanks again,
