[Rt-devel] Errors with cascading select fields in RT 3.6.0

[Timothy Smith]

Hello all. I've upgraded from RT 3.4.5 to 3.6.0 (clean install directory but the same database; custom patches applied) and I'm having some issues with the cascading select custom fields.

Assume a category "foo" has values "bar" and "baz" in it.

Ticket creation:
If I specify category foo and then select either bar or baz, RT gets confused and displays "foo" as the value of the field in Display.html. This does not happen in a different custom field in a different queue. Are things being processed out of order somewhere? I think CreateTicket in Interface/Web.pm might be getting confused by the -Category field; it doesn't check for the string Value in the name of the field.

Ticket updating (cosmetic):
RT always throws the error:
>> User asked for an unknown update type for custom field Testfield for RT::Ticket object
when I submit Ticket/Modify.html for a ticket with a cascading selector. It's coming from ProcessObjectCustomFieldUpdates in Interface/Web.pm; it looks like it's just missing an elsif to handle the -Category form field.

I think these should be quick fixes; I'd submit patches but I don't have any experience with patch creation or test case creation (as per StyleGuide.pod) and I don't want to waste anybody's time. Is this the right venue for this sort of thing?

Thanks,
