[rt-users] Ticket_Overlay/Attachment_Overlay->Import for 4.x?

[Curtis Bruneau]

I noticed the 4.0.x code base has ->Import included in Ticket.pm and 
Attachment.pm. I'm going to try starting from there but I'm wondering if 
there's any known technical reasons why these methods may not work in rt 
4.2.x

Thanks again,

Curtis
