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

[davidturnau]

You might be on to something. I have a scrip that creates a ticket in my
Hardware queue when a certain field is updated. I want to pull data from the
original ticket (ticket id, custom field value) and populate the template
that is used to create the new ticket. Is my syntax wrong? Is my template
trying to pull the data from fields in a ticket that doesn't exist yet
instead of the original ticket? If so, how do I reference the original
ticket in the perl tag?

I've also used "TOP" in my syntax without any luck. I've seen some
references to it in the forums but I don't really understand what it does or
how to use it.

I've used it with the following syntax:
Subject: {$Ticket{TOP}->FirstCustomFieldValue('Product');}

but I just end up with the same error in rt.log
