Kurt,

Not sure why you start the scrip with a "{" and end with one. Just start
with the "my $trans=".

Your code should be in the "Prep Action" and you should add this at the end
of the code you've got:

else {
     $to_address= "rubble";

### after the above line, the code should look like this: ####

# copy value of "To_Address" to Custom Field "Whatever you named it"

my $cf_name = "Whatever it is";

$cf_obj->LoadByName( Name => $cf_name );
$RT::Logger->debug( "Loaded \$cf_obj->Name = ". $cf_obj->Name() ."\n" );
$ticket->AddCustomFieldValue(Field=>$cf_obj, Value=>$to_address,
RecordTransaction=>0);

return 1;

Then make sure the "Cleanup Action" ends with a "return 1;" or the scrip
doesn't finish.
Also, not sure why you start the scrip with a "{" and end with one. Just
start with the "my $trans=".


The Template should refer to the value in the CF you created for the "To
Address", like this:

To: {$Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue('To Address Value')}@4j.lane.edu
Subject: Request Titled: "{$Ticket->Subject}" is ready to Migrate or
whatever

That should do it.
