lot of time (and some of yours). I apologize.

If I am able to come up with something for Modify.html, I will be
sure to feed a pull request back to the github repo for
RT-Extension-MandatoryOnTransition (not ...MandatoryOnTransaction
as I previously worded it).

Thank you. This extension and your explanation go places that the wiki
examples do not (for those who are not PERL + HTML::Mason devs).
