Adding Custom lookup fields in ticket creation (Zoho DESK)

Adding Custom lookup fields in ticket creation (Zoho DESK)

Hi everybody!:

From my experience, i see that when creating a Ticket in Zoho DESK, the form uses the fields Contact name, Email and Telephone as lookup fields. This works fine but in not-so-developed countries like Paraguay (where i live) we use the Document Number and other custom fields.

I understand that those lookup fields are very native, but is there a way of programming this through Deluge or other functions?

I need to contact programmers or companies in order to fully understand the possibilities (i have several requests which exceed our configuring skills as Zoho Partners).

Although we built this just for that little extra flexibility, in hindsight, it hasn't figured much in conventional usage.  Almost all businesses prefer that responses to their customers' tickets be sent from the common support/service email address and NOT from those of individual agents.
