Two Dimensional Filter : how to add additional fields in drop down

Rose Rose

I am using the Two Dimensional Filter Statistics portlet but it doesn't have all the fields I want to use for the XAxis and YAxis. The field that I want is the Security Level field which I use in all my filters but its not available in the pull down. I have full admin permissions, is there a way for me to add this field to the drop down of one of the axis?

Code.

You either need to write fields that provide the data hooks that the gadget can read (i.e. they effectively need to be select lists), or you need to rewrite the gadget in a way that accepts that your field is a valid input. I think it's based on the searcher the fields implement - in your case, security doesn't have a searcher, so it won't appear.

I must admit, I've done both, albeit a while ago.

I once modified the code for the portlet (not gadget!) so that it saw multi-check-boxes as input. Looked odd because you could have a single issue reported more than once. (e.g. with options A, B and C, and a single issue with A and B selected, it appears twice in the portlet because it's counting A, B and C)

The other fix was a derived custom field - looked like a list type field with a searcher, and drew its data from other fields.
