[rt-users] Found how to update Custom Fields using CommandByEmail

Mon Jan 4 12:05:21 EST 2010


The correct syntax is

CustomField{CFname}:<value>

If the mail is creating a new ticket, the Queue should be set at the top of
the email, so the Custom Field that is specific to the queue can be updated.

Thanks to Kenneth Marshall for figuring this out!
