[rt-users] Need help referencing custom fields in CreateTicket template

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi David,

I've never used a template to create a ticket so I might be off base 
here.  Does $Ticket exist within a Create Ticket template?  It seems tome 
that it might not until after the ticket has been created.  If it doesn't 
exist yet, that would explain the undefined value ($Ticket).  Just a thought.
