Need help with Custom fields plugin

[ipratikb]

Plugin Version: 2.10
Environment: Self-hosted Kimai server

Issue:

I have successfully created custom fields using the Custom Fields plugin. I'm trying to use the "Restrict visibility" option so that certain fields are visible only to a specific customer — for example, the shopapp customer — and not to others.

In my case, there are only two customers: shopapp_lead and shopapp.

What I expect:
When I select "shopapp_lead" in the visibility settings, users associated with "shopapp_lead" should not see the custom field.

Users associated with "shopapp" should see it — and vice versa.

What actually happens:
Regardless of which customer I select, the field is hidden from all users.

I also tried creating two custom roles: ROLE_USER and ROLE_LEAD.

I tried adding ROLE_USER to permission, but the custom fields are still not displaying as expected — either they're hidden for everyone or shown to everyone.

Request:
Could you please clarify how visibility restrictions are supposed to work with customers and roles? Is there a configuration step I might be missing, or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Limiting by customer does likely not work as you expect it, read this:
