2007-02-14 - problems with passing CONSTANT

There is a constant REQUEST_DETAIL_FIELDS in the main controller. It maps the rails parameters to the onscreen labels and it defines which parameters are displayed.

I tried to pass this constant as a regular instance variable to the partial view. This did not work out. Had to pass it as a regular instance variable inside a before_filter.

Actually the previous code worked, but the functional test raised errors.

2007-02-15 - done

I am settling this task, but a rewrite is due soon, because we can't work with a fixed set of headers.
