[rt-users] On Custom Field change scrip action

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi Ben,

I use this as a User Defined Custom Condition to detect a change in a CF 
named "DMCA State":

{ ### True on state change to ITSO_Review
   my $Transaction = $self->TransactionObj;
   return $Transaction->Type      eq   'CustomField'
       && $Transaction->Field     eq   '3'
       && get_custom('DMCA State')         eq   'ITSO_Review'
       ;

   sub get_custom {
   ### Returns custom field value
   ### get_custom($field_name)
     my $target_name = $_[0];
     my $val = $self->TicketObj->FirstCustomFieldValue($target_name);
     return $val
       if defined $val;
     return undef;
   }
}

I wrote this quite a while ago; from what I've learned of RT since then, I 
suspect I could have used the CF's name "DMCA State" instead of it's ID "3" 
like this:
   && $Transaction->Field eq "DMCA State"

Of course, what you are detecting is going to be different, but you should 
be able to use this as a guide.

Disclaimer: I know this code could be reduced to 1 or 2 lines, but my 
coding philosophy is that readability trumps terseness.

Regards,
Gene
