[rt-users] Approval - Custom Action Scrip to create Approval Tickets

[Jennifer Koermer]

I need to create multiple approval tickets based on content in custom
fields of the parent ticket.  Tickets are being created based on the
custom field content, approvers are being specified from another custom
field.  If multiple approvers are specified, multiple tickets are
created. 

 

I've managed to get almost everything to work using the following in a
custom action scrip:

  my ($child_id, $child_transobj, $errormsg ) = 

      $child_ticket->Create( 

      Queue => $queue_name , 

      Subject => "Approval for ticket: " . $ticket->id . " - " .
$ticket->Subject, 

      Cc => $override_approver,

      RefersTo => $ticket->id , 

      DependedOnBy => $ticket->id , 

      Type => "approval" , 

      Reqestor => $req_addr, 

      Owner => $approver,

      AdminCc => $approver,

    );

 

I still haven't figured out how to add content, set a due date 2 days
from now, or set a custom field.

 

Content:

I would like the initial content of the ticket to be the following:

 

Approval for $ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue('UserDisplayName')

To submit your response via e-mail.  To do so, reply to this message
with one of the following responses in the 

body of the message:

To approve:

     Status: Resolved

 

To reject:

     Status: Rejected

 

To view the original request, follow this link:
RT->Config->Get('WebURL')}Ticket/Display.html?id=$ticket->id

Additional information is below:

 $ticket->Transactions->First->Content()

 

I have tried adding both of the following lines into the ticket
creation, but the content is not added.  That being said, there are also
no errors reported:

      Text => "The Text Field",

      Content => "The Content Field",

 

 

Custom Field:

My custom field is ApprovalType.  I have tried the following (based on
what is used in templates):

CF-ApprovalType => "User"

I get the following error

[Tue Mar  9 16:22:27 2010] [error]: Scrip 74 Prepare failed: Bareword
"CF" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 3132) line 19.
(/usr/lib/rt/RT/Action/UserDefined.pm:64)

 

 

Due Date:

The template that I'm basing this on uses the following line to set the
date:

Due: {time + 86400}

 

I'm not sure how to set that time within the custom action of a scrip.

I tried the following & it didn't work:

Due => time + 86400

The following error is returned:

[Tue Mar  9 16:30:10 2010] [error]: Scrip 74 Prepare failed: Day '68'
out of range 1..31 at /usr/lib/rt/RT/Date.pm line 966

 

Anyone have any words of wisdom?
