Adding fields to the templates

Folks,
Is there a way to add custom fields to the templates? For example, when i add a new computer to the inventory, I'd like to be able to specify the rack and shelf numbers. I did not find an obvious way to do that, except for creating a new dropdown called rack1, then creating a child dropdown shelf1, and so on... Is this the only way to do it? Such approach is too labor intensive as I  have three datacenter with 30 racks in each...
Thanks,

I agree with prelius, it would be useful to have that option.

Re: Adding fields to the templates

There is no way actually to add new fields. you need to developp plugin  for that for example.

Re: Adding fields to the templates

I setup the Location attribute to handle this -

ie:
Location>Country>SiteName(City or Datacenter)>Rack#(1-#)
