Edit Custom Fields plugin for Redmine

This is a Redmine plugin to enable users editing issue custom fields for their project.

By default, Redmine provides the mechanism of creating custom fields to extend the semantics of certain entities, e.g. issues or projects. The properties of these Custom Fields can only be edited by a Redmine administrator making them often useless in projects where a manager or another designated member has to be able to amend these semantic fields.

This plugins enables users with the appropriate permissions to edit the custom fields attached to issues within the current project.

Features

Allows editing of certain issue custom fields for a project.
Allows to choose which custom fields are user-editable.
Provides a new permission for user roles.
Provides a new module permission for projects.

For installation, clone the Git repository to your plugins folder, restart the Redmine application and perform the migration.

git clone https://github.com/fathomssen/redmine_edit_custom_fields.git
rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=redmine_edit_custom_fields RAILS_ENV=production
