Hello,

When building Notifications using "<OTRS_*" tags, results for the same
tag differs depending on the event generating the Notification, or else
they just return empty. This has made it difficult to figure out which
tag to use.

For example, the following tags all come up blank in a NewTicket
Notification:

<OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserFirstname> 
<OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserLastname> 
<OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserLogin> 
<OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserCustomerID> 
<OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserEmail>

while <OTRS_CUSTOMER_REALNAME> evaluates to the "realname" of the Post
Master address, e.g.: "OTRS Help Desk".

The very same <CUSTOMER_DATA_* tags return perfect data when the
notification type is AddNote (the customer's first name, last name, etc.
appear as expected).

One would think that tags with names such as "CUSTOMER_DATA_*" that we
would be referring to the Customer's information in the database, and
the same tags should work consistently regardless of the type of event
generating the Notification.

Besides the following links, has anyone found more accurate or complete
documentation on how to use this high level API with OTRS-2.4.x?
