Sorry, I guess you can do it in a filter as well as Misi says.  (always listen 
to Misi.)  :)

Thank you!

I used this same logic in a filter like you suggested and it works perfectly. 
Thank you. :)

Hi,

Your thinking is not off. The run-if should contain something like you tried.

The problem is probably WHEN to do the check. ACTL:s has some kind of user 
action as their trigger.

I would probably choose to do this in a FLTR instead, as they are run on the 
server, and controls values before they get stored in the database.

ACTL:s are more geared to assist the user, and FLTR:s are the ones to control 
things.

The filter also need a trigger, and that would be Submit and Modify, which 
corresponds to creating a new (Submit) ticket, and updating an existing ticket 
(Modify).

Make sure to get yourself to some training as soon as possible!
