[rt-users] Linking tickets across queues

[Kenneth Crocker]

Mathew,


	Have you tried the "DependsOn" or "RefersTo" links? I use them and they 
work great. When I "Display" any ticket with these links, the ticket 
number, subject, and ticket status shows up in the links section for the 
current ticket. It does not matter what queue the "linked" tickets are 
in. I also have a query that reports all tickets in X queues that have 
any Parent/Child, DependsOn/DependedOnBy, and RefersTo/ReferredToBy 
links as well as the due dates for any of those tickets, who owns them, 
what queue they are in, etc. I don't have to modify any RT base code to 
do this {makes maintenence easier when doing upgrades :-)}. Hope this helps.
