CRM > Contacts not populating Contact list for other forms

[Draekmus]

Hello, I have noticed that, when I add a contact in the CRM module, that it is not populating that name to lists referencing Contact.

For example, if I go into Billing > Invoice, and choose to filter by Contact, the list is blank.

This seems to affect contacts regardless if they are associated with an account/opportunity/lead or not.

Is this a glitch? Not yet implemented? Or am I missing something with how Contacts are handled?

Both the latest stable (4.6) and Git versions of ERPMine have this issue for me.

I am using Redmine 5.0.4, with PostgreSQL 15 as the database backend.

You will have to add a project to that contact

And setup billing for that project

Then you will see the contact list populated

@cdhana17 Unfortunately, that has not worked. I cannot associate the contact with the project because the Name drop-down box is empty.

I did find the solution to my problem: contacts will not appear on any list if they do not have an email address associated with them. As soon as I put in an address, they started populating the list.

This is specific to Contacts only and does not affect Accounts, Leads, or Opportunities as far as I could tell.

Should email addresses be required for Contacts?
