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

[Paul Vlaar]

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for your response. My scrip is indeed looking for a "create"
transaction because it should only trigger at the time of creation, and
the CF value is rather static, as it applies to the Group that the Queue
in which the ticket belongs, has rights to. I realise now that finding
that relationship is a bit difficult, and it's probably better to move
the custom field to the Queue, instead.
