[rt-users] Problem: Requestor and Cc not filled when creating new Ticket

[Kenneth Crocker]

Phillip,

I think you misunderstand the purpose of "Ticket" AdminCc's and Cc's. They
are clasified as "Other" for the purposes of notifications. Any notification
you set up for AdminCc's and Cc's will automatically use the email addresses
of the Queue Watcher AdminCc's and Cc's. You really do not need "Ticket"
AdminCc's or Cc's unless you want to add to that list on a ticket by ticket
basis. To have the same list would be redundant and accomplish nothing extra
in terms of emails.

As to removing those fields from the "Ticket Create" display, that is
possible. We have removed the AdminCc from ours because we don't use
AdminCc's for just email, they are our "Queue Managers" and they have
specific rights we don't want regular users to have, so we don't want
requestors messing with who an AdminCc is. This is done by copying the
"Create.html" file from the /$RTHome/share/html/Ticket directory into the
$RTHome/local/html/Ticket directory and making your changes.

Lastly, you will want to create either a "Global" or "Queue-specific" scrip
to pre-fill the Requestor field. Like I mentioned earlier, I do not believe
you need to pre-fill a "Ticket" AdminCc or Cc as it would be redundant.

Hope this helps.
