[rt-users] Enhancements and workflows that we have added

[Kenneth Crocker]

Aaron,


	I just put in those changes and I get a syntax error on $Type. The 
error message says the folowing:

"Error during compilation of 
/apps/rt/rt-3.6.4/local/html/Elements/EditCustomField:
syntax error at /apps/rt/rt-3.6.4/local/html/Elements/EditCustomField 
line 79, near ") {"

line 82, near "} elsif"
Global symbol "$Type" requires explicit package name at 
/apps/rt/rt-3.6.4/local/html/Elements/EditCustomField line 82, <GEN39> 
line 361.
Global symbol "$Rows" requires explicit package name at 
/apps/rt/rt-3.6.4/local/html/Elements/EditCustomField line 83, <GEN39> 
line 361.
Global symbol "$Columns" requires explicit package name at

line 361.

line 85, near ";
}"

	I'm not sure why it doesn't like $Type. Any ideas? I'm not real 
experienced at perl. Just learning. Thanks.
