[rt-users] Custom Field value mandatory on resolve

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi Christian,

You should be able to use a TransactionBatch scrip to check that the CF 
exists at the time the status changes to resolved.  If the CF is not 
acceptable, just have the scrip change the status back to the transaction's 
OldValue (maybe with transaction recording disabled so it doesn't trigger 
other scrips).  I'd use TransactionBatch instead of TransactionCreate so I 
don't miss a resolution that also includes setting the CF to an acceptable 
value.  This solution has nothing to do with the "Mandatory" setting for 
fields, it's just checks that a field has a value when a ticket is resolved.

Regards,
Gene
