New custom fields add history record the next time every old ticket is edited.
Note: We use Trac 0.12.3 because that's the version our host (RepositoryHosting.com) uses. I realize that Trac 1.2.3 is the latest stable release. I can't fix our version without leaving RepositoryHosting.com.
I created a custom field in our RH Trac — a checkbox. Then whenever someone would edit a Trac ticket that existed before this custom field was created, the commit of that edit would result in a history record in that ticket saying (sorry, I don’t have one of these in front of me) that the _new_custom_field had been set to its default value.
Is there any way to create a custom field and not get this behavior? It's just noise to us. If this is fixed in a later version of Trac, well, I'd like to know that, too.
Thank you!
