\nThe way most of our customers add additional fields to the change description is with the use of triggers and scripts that add extra fields within the “description” field.
\nwww.perforce.com\/perforce\/doc.current\/ma…cmdref\/triggers.html
\nAs an example:
\nadd-fields.py:<\/p>\n

*********************<\/p>\n

#!\/usr\/bin\/python<\/p>\n

import os
\nimport sys
\nimport re
\nimport random<\/p>\n

users = [ “cpflaum”,”cpflaum2″ ]
\nuser = sys.argv[2]
\nuser = user.lower()<\/p>\n

if user in users:
\ntempfile = str(random.random())
\ninput = open(sys.argv[1], “r”)
\noutput = open(tempfile, “w”)<\/p>\n

for line in input.readlines():
\nif re.search(““, line):
\noutput.write(line)
\noutput.write(“\\n\\tMy Additonal field 1=\\n”)
\noutput.write(“\\n\\tMy Additonal field 2=\\n”)
\nelse:
\noutput.write(line)<\/p>\n

input.close()
\noutput.close()<\/p>\n

os.remove(sys.argv[1])
\nos.rename(tempfile, sys.argv[1])<\/p>\n
