Hi all, Instead of trying to educate all of my users, I'd like to increase the size of the "Subject" field in the OTRS interface. Meaning: I'd like to make sure that no matter how the ticket is created, I'm able to see the full subject in the agent/customer interface. I think I found some articles for earlier version describing how to create a new theme, I think, to allow for larger subject lengths. I'm guessing I'm missing an option somewhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. -- /Sune T.

Try:
SysConfig -> Ticket -> Core::Ticket -> Ticket::SubjectSize

Thanks, i was kind of hoping it wasn’t that simple. ☺
It may allow for a bigger subject. However, it still won’t let me see the long subjects in the Agent interface.
For example, some users sends a long path to a document in the subject.
The only option that I’ve found, is to hover the mouse over the subject (only works at some locations) and type of what it says in the little pop-up that shows (and disappears again).
So I guess what I’m looking for, isn’t actually the subject size, but how much of it that is displayed in the interface.
Thanks again.

So that is hardcoded in the theme/web .dtl templates under
Kernel/Output/HTML/Standard. You will see that some of the fields are
deliberately truncated e.g...
$QData{"Subject","36"}

Did you check in the notification section?
What version of OTRS are you running?
On my 2.3 system, there is an en::Agent::NewTicket notification that has
this defined in the subject:
New ticket notification! (

Thanks Steve.
I’ll see if I can find my way with a new theme without restrictions. It may end up being ugly, but I’ll find out.

Hi, I do this in quite a few places. Just create Kernel/Output/HTML/Custom (or whatever), copy any .dtl you want to change and do it there. Then change the default theme to this one for new users, and update old ones, and you should be good to go. tamas ________________________________ From: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] On Behalf Of Sune T.
