How can we add an additional field in a cutomer portal form, when a user has to create a ticket and only one 'Summary' field is there and another additional filed needs to be added for attaching/ dropping a file.

Hello Ruchi,

To add a field to the customer portal form, go to the specific request type that the form needs the additional fields for (Project > Project Settings > Request Type > [Specific Request Type] > Request Form Tab:

From here, select the "Add a field" button in the Visible Fields section.

Then you just select which fields you want to include on your portal form.

Couple of things to note:

1. For fields to be available to select and add to the portal form, you need the fields to be available on the create issue screen of the associated issue type. You can easily access this screen by selecting the "Create Issue Screen" link at the top of the request type form (see screenshot)
2. To add the ability to drag/drop files, select the "Attachment" field. Then that functionality will be available for customers to add files to their requests.

Hope this helps!
