So if I'm reading this right (and I may not be), you're saying that one
should be able to set
the custom field values for a new ticket without ModifyCustomField. That is
what I would
expect, but it does not seem to be the case. It's not possible to set custom
field values on
ticket creation (via REST, in 3.8) without that right. Both the CLI and
RT::Client:REST fail to
set the fields without this right.
