Thanks for the detailed reply Ruslan it's really helped me understand
things. In the meantime I've read about the RT:SystemUSer which may do
things more like I want to as all I need to be able to do is get the
values for the users custom fields when creating/editing a ticket.
I'm now a bit stuck on how to retrieve the values for the custom fields.
Perhaps if I explain more what I'm trying to do someone be so kind as to
explain the bit i've missed/got wrong:
1) Requestor creates a ticket
2) Upon the new ticket window loading, lookup the Account ID stored in
the users custom field
3) Based on the Account ID display a list of services (stored in a
seperate database/CRM) in a dropdown <-- got this bit working
independently just not with RT.
4) Store the id of the selected service into a hidden ticket custom field.
I've got a few more processes that I wish to get working but the basic
process is the same.
So far I've got as far as coding the following test routine is
MassageCustomFields but can't get it to show the values of the
associated current user:
% if ($CustomFields->First) {
Ok we've found some custom fields:<br />
% $CustomFields->GotoFirstItem;
<% $session{'CurrentUser'}->id %><br /> <-------- This Id displays fine
% while ( my $CustomField = $CustomFields->Next) {
<% loc($CustomField->Name) %> <------ Name of the custom field shows up
% $CustomField->Load($CustomField->Name);
<% $CustomField->ValuesForObject($session{'CurrentUser'}) %>
<br />
% }
% }
On the last line it returns a reference to 'RT::ObjectCustomFieldValues'
but I can't figure out how to get the currently selected/filled in value.
Once again, thanks for all your help so far.
Lee
