[rt-users] scrip not working

[Kenneth Crocker]

Gene,


	I tried to modify my scrip with some of your code (I don't like 
subroutines) and it looks like this:

# set new Work-Status value

my $ticket = $self->TicketObj;
my $cf_obj = RT::CustomField->new($RT::SystemUser);
my $cf_name = "Work-Status";
my $cf_value = "Estimating Effort";

$cf_obj->LoadByName(Name=>$cf_name);
$RT::Logger->debug("Loaded\$cf_obj->Name = ". $cf_obj->Name() ."\n");
$ticket->AddCustomFieldValue(Field=>$cf_obj, Value=>$cf_value, );

return 1;


	When executed, this is what I got:

     *  Ticket 54343: Status changed from 'new' to 'open'
     * Work-Status Estimating Effort changed to Requested

	Why does the results say it changed the custom field to the value it 
USED to be? It acts like it is doing the work correctly, then reverses 
itself. I don't get it.
