Subject: [rt-users] Populate custom field A with the selection I made incustom field B

Hi Everyone,

  We are currently evaluating RT to replace our current (crappy) ticketing system.  So far everyone has good things to say about it :) .  Our Helpdesk Manager asked me to post this up and see if anyone had any input on it.

Many thanks in advance!

<helpdesk manager>

I want to know if there is a way that I can assign / save the value of the category field (in the cascading field) to another custom field when an item is chosen.

Here is the scenario in RT3.6:

I have two custom fields:

Type (which is a “select one value” type)

            Sort      Name                            Description        Category

            10         Help Request

            20         Work Request

SubType (which is “select one value” type with category column filled in, “cascading”)

            Sort      Name                            Description        Category

            10         E-mail                                                   Help Request

            20         Internet                                                 Help Request

            30         New Hire                                               Work Request

            40         Termination                                           Work Request

So, what I would like to do is to set “Type” to be Read-Only and when I choose a “SubType”, to use the “Category” value to fill in “Type”.  This can be done once the ticket is saved.  I’m not looking for it to change “on the fly”.

The problem I have with it now is that you can choose Type:Work Request for example and then choose SubType:E-mail (Category:Help Request).  This of course will influence when I run reports on # of Work Request, # of Help Requests and others.

As well as not be true to the classification of the ticket.
