Redmine Custom Field Hints

Adds functionality for text-based custom fields to have autohints defined for them which disappear when the user focuses the field.

Installation

Follow normal Redmine Plugin installation instructions

Usage

When defining a custom input a "Hint Text" option will be available. Enter the text you want to show as a hint for that input.

You will be able to see what inputs have hint text supplied and what it is directly from the "Custom Fields" grid.

User Experience

When a user creates or edits an issue, any field that has a hint defined will have that hint displayed in a light gray color.

When the user puts focus on that field, the contents disappear placing the cursor at the beginning of the input. Once text has been entered, the user's input will remain. If the user leaves the field empty, or what equates to being empty like only entering spaces, then the hinted text will appear and the contents will be truncated.
