Context sensitive custom fields

[Jochen Wiedmann]

Hi,

I am currently preparing a customization project for a customer with a
relatively large number of products and components. The products in
question aren't software, but hardware. In particular, they have very
different requirements in terms of custom fields. Therefore, the
customer wants some context sensitivity. Context would be defined as
the bugs product and component:

- Custom fields should be enabled or disabled automatically.
- Validation of custom fields (mandatory yes/no) should honour the context.
- Drop down values must be context sensitive.

I would like to ask whether there is some interest in such features
here. If so, I'd add some private time to enhance the likelihood of
acceptance into the Bugzilla code base. Otherwise, I'd obviously do
some hacking, in order to make it short. (For example, I'd use
Data::Dumper to store the meta data, rather than the database.)

Thanks,

Jochen
