[rt-users] SetPriority oddities.

[Kenneth Crocker]

Marc,

I could be wrong but I suspect that what you are seeing after you made a
change has to do with what is in cache.

Your scrip code was for "Cleanup" so after RT made your change to 100, the
"Cleanup" scrip came along and changed it back to 50, but cache still has
what you TYPED into that field.

That's my best guess. Hope it helps.
