[rt-users] Final Reply (not Comment) on Resolve Patch?

[Roedel, Mark]

Maybe your system is working different than mine...

On my system, when you "Resolve" the ticket, there's a dropdown a few
lines above the "Message:" field labeled "Update Type:" which defaults
to "Comments (Not sent to requestors)", but which can be changed to
"Reply to requestors."

We took the step on our system of changing the default from Comment to
Reply.  We did this by copying share/html/Ticket/Elements/Tabs to
local/html/Ticket/Elements/Tabs and then changing "Action=Comment" to
"Action=Respond" in line 154 of the local copy.

Yes, this works fine on that page.  It is possible I just have a bad
idea of what the normal workflow for handling a ticket is, but generally
people "Take" a ticket, go back and forth with the requestor for a while
(Ticket/Update page), and then "Resolve" the ticket.  The page you end
up on when you hit "Resolve" has a field called "Message:" but this is
really a comment and not a message sent back to the requestor when the
ticket is resolved.  We end up with a lot of resolved tickets but with
users that didn't get the final message such as "I've put the document
you wanted in \\foo\bar\doc.txt" -- it is a little confusing.

Maybe I don't understand what you want.  This sounds exactly like what
the Update Type field is for on the Ticket/Update page.
