Hi Mathew,
You're getting close! The Values method actually returns a CustomFieldValues
object, even though a print will show a hash. This object represents a
collection of CustomFieldValue objects and you can iterate through the value
objects using the RT collections API (see RTx::SearchBuilder):
My $cfvalues = $cf->Values($cf_name);
while (my $cfval = $cfvalues->Next() ){
print $cfval->Name . "\n";
};
You can see this in action on the custom field 'modify' screen - (
/Admin/CustomFields/Modify.html ). This calls
/Admin/Elements/EditCustomFieldValues which displays a list of the existing
values for the CF.
Steve
