<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I just upgraded to RT 3.6.1 on my test system and started
doing some work with custom field validation. I have noticed something in how
they work, or don’t work in certain circumstances. If I log in as a
privileged user, and try to create a ticket, the validation works fine. It will
not even let me save a ticket, unless a mandatory field is filled it. So, this
part works as advertised. Also, if I work on a ticket, that was created prior
to the validation being added to a custom field, it does the validation on the
existing fields, but ignores mandatory fields; I guess one should accept this
behavior as normal, because the ticket was already in the system.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The unexpected behavior occurs when I try to create a ticket
as an unprivileged user. We have a generic account which we have regular users
come in and submit tickets. It comes up with a customized menu, so they can
select a queue and enter a ticket. To do this required some modifications to
the SelfService html directory. While this is not perfect, it did save us from
having to set up a number of user accounts. The user also enters their e-mail
address while creating a ticket. Anyway, when a user clicks on “New
ticket”, it brings up the ticket to fill in and the custom fields.
However, unlike when a privileged user creates a ticket, there are no comments
in red indicating what needs to be entered into the custom fields. However,
validation does occur on fields which have regular expressions, though the user
has no idea what to fill in (again no red text to tell them). Also, if a mandatory
field is not filled it, the ticket is created anyway; again this differs from
when a privileged user tries to do the same thing. Is there a reason for this
behavior? Are there plans to fix the behavior?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
