Priority is actually already available during ticket creation if you
click on Details in the upper right.

As for why your callback doesn't work, you're creating the ticket. At
the time AfterOwner is called, the ticket does not exist yet, so it
can't pass you anything.

You use AfterOwner to show your priority widget and then use another
callback to actually update the ticket.

I'd probably use BeforeCreate to push Priority into the ARGSRef so
that it seamless is used during creation, rather than coming as a
later transaction.

If you don't want to do that, read the bottom of Create.html's INIT,
you'll see that it passes execution to Display.html, so you'll use a
callback in there (or even easier, write a Scrip to do it On Create,
then it happens for tickets that come in via email in addition to the
web UI).
