[rt-users] Custom condition not working (simple)

[Matt Smith]

I meant to say I want it to return 1 if there are no PARENT tickets to the current ticket.   I would need to use the "DependsOn" or "AllDependsOn", but I'm not sure how to check the returned array for size.

Working on it.

First up - it's DependedOnBy not DependOnBy, and it returns an RT::Links object, so I'm surprised you've seen numeric comparisons.

Logging is your friend.

RT->Logger->error("Stuff");

You can also always write a command line program to test things quickly, which is what I usually do.
