I'd like to make use of one of the ticket free text fields to let customers choose their department.  Using the documentation, I was able to hard-code one the first free text field fine.  Admins/techs can now choose the department by clicking on the free text link and choosing for the customer.  Config.pm section below:

==========================

$Self->{"TicketFreeKey1"} = {

        'Focus Area' => 'Department',

    };

    $Self->{"TicketFreeText1"} = {

        '' => '-',

        'CAE' => 'CAE',

        'CAD' => 'CAD',

        'CAM' => 'CAM',

    };

==========================

Now I'm trying to get this option to show up and be required when a customer creates a new ticket.  I opened up CustomerMessageNew.dtl and added the following little snippets of code in the relevant places, but to no avail.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

==========================

<tr>

    <td>$Text{"Department"}:</td><td>$Data{"TicketFreeTextField1"}</td>

</tr>

<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="AgentFreeText">

==========================

Thanks,
