This is because $self isa RT::CustomFieldValues::External,
RT::CustomFIeldValues, RT::SearchBuilder, none of which have any
ticket data.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any way to currently get the
information you want inside ExternalValues.  Keep in mind that during
Ticket Creation, you wouldn't even have a ->TicketObj to use (since it
hasn't been created yet).

Patches that pass more context through to ExternalValues would be
welcome, but will likely be complex.
