      ...so, I wrote my own!

      The major benefit? Building your menu structure is dead easy compared to before. It's all XML based. You can report on your data. Since I am storing the menu selections in generic-named fields, you can imagine how much easier reporting would be compared to having a category called 'Software,' then another attribute called 'Microsoft Office,' etc. Waaay easier, IMHO.

      It supports your existing categories too!

      In the app:

      In the new ticket form:
      2015-01-13_18_07_01-Greenshot.png

      In the user portal:
      2015-01-13_08_54_35-Home___Liebovich_Steel___Aluminum_Co..png

      Check it out and let me know how it works out for you - - - I need feedback! @Bill-Kindle has tried it, so should you!

          @scottalanmiller Thanks!

          I know you had responded in the other thread too..., so double-thanks!

          I wanted to plug (pun intended) my stuff so I can get some feedback - and, I'm kinda proud of the thing... 🙂

                I've been using this plugin for a week and it's very stable. Doesn't take much to customize either.

                          Thanks everyone! I don't have the best javascript chops, but I can hack it to get it to work.

                          On a side note regarding Javascript, does anyone have any good resources for coding styles/best practices?

                                    Love that portal - I'm also in the same boat - don't use SpiceWorks helpdesk any longer.

                                      I also recommend this book to everyone I can.

                                        By the way - the latest update adds subcategories to custom forms!

                                          You just don't know when to quit, do you?!
