Select custom fields (which the classic "Category" is migrated to), should have a way to have spaces for the values.
Currently, if you try something like:
{{{
"multi word selection"
}}}
It turns into three selections:
- "multi
- word
- selection"
Idea: allow quotes and parse with
shlex.split. Changing the schema into a proper list (instead of a string) would be a more formal approach but seems like that would require quite a bit of change, especially in the UI.Created #341: [#6149] Spaces for select custom fields (1cp)

je/42cc_6149I merged this (plus a commit to update the contextual help a bit), but shortly after that noticed that errors aren't handled well. If an options string like
foo "bar bazhas mismatched quotes, then you get an error when viewing any ticket. Please add error handling and a test for that. It could do something simple like falling back to a regular string split (adding a"at the end isn't good enough since single quotes can be used too)Created #356: [#6149] Followup to #341 (1cp)
