This is beginning to make my head hurt. I assume by loading up a CustomField object you mean use the Load subroutine in CustomField_Overlay.pm. There is a subroutine called Load that checks if an ID or Name is provided. So would it be: my $cf_id = RT::CustomField->Load(Name => "Profiles"); This is confusing.
