Re: race condition with scrips updating db?
[In reply to]

Chris,
Yes, I had the same problem awhile back. I change the condition to user
defined and set up my own, then I changed the Stage to TransactionBatch.
The "TransactionBatch" will only work if it is turned on in your
RT_SiteCinfig.pm file "Set($UseTransactionBatch, '1');". For some
reason, it SEEMS that if the condition is NOT user-defined, RT appears
to re-set a lot of values before executing the building of the template
code. By using "TransactionBatch" and "User-defined" and coding
my $trans = $self->TransactionObj;
return ($trans->Type eq "Status" &&
$trans->NewValue eq "rejected");
I was able to get around that. I'm not a perl guru so my ability to
really analyze the code that does all this is quite limited (I can't
even figure out why I can't install Rights Matrix and THAT should be
simple). What I do now works without fail. Hope this helps.

The scrips appear to be firing in the proper order (00_extract_fields first, then 20_autoreply_on_create). Nevertheless, the outgoing email in the autoreply picks up the address of the first requestor.
