By adding an underscore ('_') both at the beginning and the end of a column name, the data will be shown on a separate row. 218 219 * '''`_column`''' -- ''Hide data''. Prepending an underscore ('_') to a column name instructs Trac to hide the contents from the HTML output.

You'll need to make a join on the ticket_custom table, but this isn't especially easy. 243 248 244 If you have tickets in the database ''before'' you declare the extra fields in trac.ini, there will be no associated data in the ticket_custom table. To get around this, use SQL's "LEFT OUTER JOIN" clauses. See TracIniReportCustomFieldSamplefor some examples.249 If you have tickets in the database ''before'' you declare the extra fields in trac.ini, there will be no associated data in the ticket_custom table. To get around this, use SQL's "LEFT OUTER JOIN" clauses.
