After thinking about this for a bit, I figured the query is in the database somewhere and it's probably easy enough to update via a script/cron job, so I wrote one (Perl):




#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Base64;
use DateTime;
use DBI;


my $date = DateTime->now();
my $desired_dow = 6;
$date->subtract(days => ($date->day_of_week - $desired_dow) % 7);

my $to_date_string = $date->ymd;

$date->subtract(days => 6);

my $from_date_string = $date->ymd;

#open(FH, '>', 'attributes.dmp') or die("Unable to open dump file: $!");
#binmode FH;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=rt4;", "rt_user", "PASSWORDHERE");

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM Attributes WHERE id = 33");

my $upSth = $dbh->prepare("UPDATE Attributes SET Content = ? WHERE id = 33");

$sth->execute;

while(my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) {
        my $content = decode_base64($ref->{'Content'});

#       print FH "$content\n\n";

        if($content =~ /(.*Resolved >= ')(\d{1,4}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2})(' AND Resolved <= ')(\d{1,4}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2})('.*)/s) {
                my ($pre, $date1, $mid, $date2, $post) = ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5);

                if($date1 ne $from_date_string || $date2 ne $to_date_string) {
                        my $new_content = $pre . $from_date_string . $mid . $to_date_string . $post;

                        my $encoded_value = encode_base64($new_content);

#                       print FH $encoded_value;

                        $upSth->execute($encoded_value);
                }
        }
}

close FH;


It will update my saved search (id# 33) to always been sun-sat of last week.  It'd admittedly a bit of a hack; it would be nice if altering an existing search was an option within the REST API.
