Do you need realtime updates? or can you use an action and the "rt-cron" tool to batch update the CF's.

I do something similar for syncing RT to ARS (Remedy).

The cron tool uses a custom search, run's the tickets through some conditions and then uses the "SyncARS.pm" action to pull down the new field values from ARS. Might be a better approach as to not put more connection load on the external databases.

Greetings:

Has anyone added custom fields where the choices are taken from a query against an outside database, perhaps by modifying the RT code? I didn't see anything about this in the docs, and it didn't seem like "Include page" in the CF modification screen would be able to achieve this. If not, where should I look in the source code - share/html/Elements/EditCustomField seems like a good starting spot.

Thank you very much,
