[Rt-devel] RT Extension settings "storage"

[Dan Thomson]

I was trying to implement a convenient configuration for my "subject
tagging" that I had mentioned earlier.

In the end, I took the advice from this list and used the
header-to-custom field scrip to import the necessary values from email
headers, then made my own scrip to apply certain custom fields to the
subject. It seems to work well, and each scrip/template can be created
per Queue which is all well and good, but I also wanted a convenient
way to disable this functionality with the click of a button instead
of by deleting a scrip. That's why I wanted some kind of storage
method. I wanted to know which Queues had this functionality enabled
and disabled.

RT::Attribute seemed to do the trick.

I appreciate the help!
