[rt-users] Scrip - On close set CF to owner name and then change owner to nobody

[Bart]

Hi,

After some more testing the below scrip doesn't seem to do what it should..

It now does work but it fills in the wrong user. Sometimes a colleague of
mine instead of myself, while I'm the person hitting "Resolved". Or
sometimes root, I guess because it runs a scrip when closing and the actual
last actioning user almost always is root.

Is there better, more clever, way for getting the actioning user "or" the
ticket owner into a CF during ticket resolve and afterwards setting the
owner to nobody?
