[Rt-devel] Obtain values of custom fields

[Alejandro Imass]

Suppose the Custom Field Name is 'CF_NAME'

# (1) Get you ticket object somehow, for example:
my $ticketObj = $self->TicketObj;
my $queueObj = $self->TicketObj->QueueObj; #example how to get Queue
from Ticket

# (2) If you are certain it's only ONE value (will break on
multiple-select fields!)
my $cfValue = $ticketObj->CustomFieldValues('CF_NAME')->Next;
my $txtValue = $cfValue->Content if defined $cfValue;

# (2a) A better option: check for multiple-values
my @simpleValues = ( );
while($ticketObj->CustomFieldValues('CF_NAME')->Next){
  push @simpleValues, $_->Content;
}

# @simpleValues now contains the stored values of custom field of name
CF_NAME.... This is _usually_ only one value so al you need is
$simpleValues[0]

CAVEAT: dunno if $ticketObj->CustomFieldValues->Next breaks if wrong
custom field. It's best to write:

# (2a+) better yet: check for multiple-values safely
my @simpleValues = ( );
my $cfValues = $ticketObj->CustomFieldValues('CF_NAME');
do{
  while($cfValues->Next){
    push @simpleValues, $_->Content;
  }
} if defined $cfValues; 

Besides, the Next() call is a lot clearer this way.

Cheers!
