Zammad: Default value not set for attributes of type input, select, tree_select, richtext, textarea, checkbox

Created on 17 Nov 2017  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: zammad/zammad

Infos:

We added object (type text) to the Ticket. Default value set.
We are adding a new ticket. There are two different ways to handle this new field.

  • Used Zammad version: 2.1.0-15095477
  • Used Zammad installation source: package
  • Operating system: Debian 9.2 (4.9.0-4-amd64)
  • Browser + version: Firefox 56.0.2
  • Ticket-ID: #1067567, #1072843, #1081031, #1082942

Addition: This doesn't just affect web and communication channels, but also API calls.

Expected behavior:

  • when creating a new ticket via email or web the value is set to default value. (any value)
    This effect is an improper triggers and overviews.

Actual behavior:

  • Creating a new ticket via email does not set any value in this field.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • add new object to the ticket, add new ticket via web and via email.

Yes I'm sure this is a bug and no feature request or a general question.

Hey @abeluck - after a longer discussion we had to revert the changes because of the side effects it would introduce (especially on larger systems).

The issue is that a change or introduction of a default value of an attribute will lead to an alter table which will take quite a lot of time on larger systems. Therefore an application based default value (via an ActiveRecord callback) is preferred over a database based.

Anyhow, you should be able to update your test system on develop in about 30 minutes from now.

I ran into an error related to this fix for this bug when testing develop on my test instance:

Not sure if this is a bug, or just an artifact of running a WIP that is develop, but sharing here just in case..

Hi @abeluck - thanks a ton for your feedback. This is extremely valuable for us! A follow up fix is currently going through QA.

Hey @abeluck - after a longer discussion we had to revert the changes because of the side effects it would introduce (especially on larger systems).

The issue is that a change or introduction of a default value of an attribute will lead to an alter table which will take quite a lot of time on larger systems. Therefore an application based default value (via an ActiveRecord callback) is preferred over a database based.

Anyhow, you should be able to update your test system on develop in about 30 minutes from now.
