Create custom field of type Reporter

Question

hi

I need to create a custom field to record a 'person' and I want this to be from the list of Reporters, not the list of agents. When I user the UserPicker option it seems to take the name form the list of agents.

This is for use on the issue form after a request has come through form the portal.  In general with we be a different person to the Reporter field.

There is no custom field type of "reporter", and the reporter field listing is based on the permission for the ability to create issues.

You could add a user-picker, and limit it to a list of people in a role or group, but it wouldn't be quite the same as "reporter"
