[rt-users] using custom field that applies to group as custom scrip condition

[Kenneth Crocker]

Paul,


	I use the following scrip for the condition and it works for me:

my $trans = $self->TransactionObj;
my $ticket = $self->TicketObj;

if  ($trans->Type eq 'CustomField')
     {my $cf = new RT::CustomField($RT::SystemUser);
         $cf->LoadByName(Queue => $ticket->QueueObj->id,
          Name => "Review Process");
      return 0 unless $cf->id;
      if  ($trans->Field == $cf->id &&
           $trans->NewValue eq "Review Complete-Approved")
           {
            return 1;
           }
     }

return 0;

	Your scrip seemed to be looking for a "create" transaction. So it will 
only work if the CF value is what your looking for "at the time of 
creation" ONLY. Whereas mine is merely looking for when the CF has been 
altered, WHENEVER. Also, keep in mind is that there is case-sensitivity 
in all comparisons.
	Hope this helps.
