[rt-users] Notify Requestor on Requestor change

[Roy El-Hames]

Hi Helmuth;
forgive me if this is a silly question but do you have a value for 
$CustomerEmailAddress
you can check by adding debug statements in the scrips :
$RT::Logger->debug("my value for CustomerEmailAddress is 
".$CustomerEmailAddress")
stick this just above the line:

$self->TicketObj->AddWatcher(Type=>'Requestor', Email => $CustomerEmailAddress);

and your custom action preparation code should end with
return 1;

Once you done this run a test and check your rt.log file if you do have 
a value.

Regards;
Roy
