[rt-users] Requestor self-resolving a ticket gets undone

[Eric Horne]

I'd like to have RT allow requestors to resolve their own tickets.. For 
example, sometimes someone submits a ticket and then realizes there 
isn't really a problem -- users have asked for the ability to resolve 
such a ticket.

Everything I've tried, I've been able to have the requestor change the 
state to resolved via the SelfService. However, immediately after that, 
the ticket gets reopened. In order for the resolve to stick, the user 
must provide a comment.

We have the standard Scrip #1, which is re-open the ticket on 
correspondence. I've modified the condition to only fire this scrip if 
the Type is Correspond and the Transaction Creator is a Requestor. It 
works fine.

I suspect that Scrip #1 is re-opening the ticket after it's been 
resolved because of the comment correspondence.

I've tried batching Scrip #1, but there is no effect.

What I'd like to have RT do is add the comment first, then resolve the 
ticket, but it appears to resolve the ticket then add the comment.

Anyone have any ideas how I can maintain the intended functionality of 
Scrip #1 (as a contest mechanism) while allowing users to resolve their 
own tickets via the SelfService?
