vTiger - How to use module field in another module

Question

I'm newbie in vtiger. I'm trying to insert the field "Service Name" from Services module in TroubleTicket module, but up to now I wasn't able to do it.
Generally speaking, is it possible to insert a field in a Module from another module? If so, how is it supposed to be done?

You can use this Code, Put this under your vTiger root directory and call it from browser.

<?php
$Vtiger_Utils_Log = true;

include_once('vtlib/Vtiger/Menu.php');
include_once('vtlib/Vtiger/Module.php');

$module = Vtiger_Module::getInstance('HelpDesk');
if($module) {
$blockInstance = Vtiger_Block::getInstance('LBL_TICKET_INFORMATION', $module);

    if($blockInstance) {

    $fieldInstance = Vtiger_Field::getInstance('Service1', $module);

       if(!$fieldInstance) {
           $fieldInstance = new Vtiger_Field();
           $fieldInstance->name = 'Service1';
           $fieldInstance->label = 'Service Name';
           $fieldInstance->uitype = 10;
           $fieldInstance->typeofdata = 'V~O';
           $blockInstance->addField($fieldInstance);

           $fieldInstance->setRelatedModules(Array('Services'));
       }
  }
}
?>
