NAME
    RT-Extension-BooleanCustomField - CF with checkbox to set or unset its
    value

DESCRIPTION
    Provide a new type of custom field, which value can only be set or
    unset. Editing a BooleanCustomField is done through a single checkbox.

    This enhances the behaviour allowed by core Request Tracker through
    SelectCustomField, where editing a SelectCustomField, with only a single
    value, should be done through a dropdown menu, radio buttons or
    checkboxes, including the single value and no value. With
    BooleanCustomField, you have only a single checkbox to check or uncheck.

RT VERSION
    Works with RT 4.0 or greater. Use v0.03 for RT 4 and last version for RT
    5 and upper.

    It should be noted that from RT 5, you can use a SelectCustomField with
    Checkbox RenderType to have the same functionality than
    BooleanCustomField. The difference is that Checkbox expects two values,
    first for unchecked and the other for checked. While BooleanCustomField
    use no value for unchecked and 1 for checked. So if you want to migrate
    a CustomField from BooleanCustomField to Checkbox, you have to change
    the type of this CustomField, add two values (first for unchecked and
    the other for checked) and then update all objects (tickets, articles,
    assets…) where this CustomField can be set, moving values from unset to
    your first value and from c<1> to the second one. This can be tedious if
    your RT has a lot of tickets, and you should probably stick to
    BooleanCustomField in this case! Otherwise, you can use the
    etc/boolean2checbox.initialdata file provided in this distibution.

INSTALLATION
    export $RTHOME=/home/of/your/RT/installation/lib
        This is needed if your RT installation directory is not /opt/rt6/
        (nor /opt/rt5 for RT 5, nor /opt/rt4 for RT 4).

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make install
        May need root permissions

    Edit your /opt/rt5/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm
        If you are using RT 4.2 or greater, add this line:

            Plugin('RT::Extension::BooleanCustomField');

        For RT 4.0, add this line:

            Set(@Plugins, qw(RT::Extension::BooleanCustomField));

        or add RT::Extension::BooleanCustomField to your existing @Plugins
        line.

    Clear your mason cache
