The way you worded this last sentence gives the impression that you
have a different understanding of NotifyActor than I do. Perhaps it is
just how I read the sentence, but perhaps not.

NotifyActor doesn't necessarily have anything to do with AdminCcs. It
has to do with the creator of the transaction (actor) and any email
recipients from scrips that would fire off from said transaction.
Generally "Notify" type actions will check if any of the recipients
are the actor of the txn, if they are, then those recipients won't get
an email - unless a configuration is set to do so.

Nope. It would be a scrip.

I don't recall if there is a scrip out of the gates that does this. From:

https://github.com/bestpractical/rt/blob/stable/etc/initialdata

it doesn't look like there is a notify for ticket's queue changing.

Here is our scrip. It runs under transaction batch:

rt4=# select * from scrips where id = 75 :G

                       |     for my $txn (@$batch) {
                       |         if (($txn->Field || q{}) eq 'Queue') {
                       |             $is_queue_changed = 1;
                       |         }

                       |         }

I don't think you are missing anything. If it used to work, then check
your scrips and if those look in order, look at logs or start adding
debugging statements to the code.

Queue adminccs exist as well as ticket adminccs - at the end of the
day, they are both adminccs, but the queue ones exist more in the
background - you don't see them on the ticket display page.
