Hi, I am running RT 3.8.4 and have created a custom field, with a list of all our clients, so that the client name is selected from the list when creating or updating a ticket.
I am now looking to implement a way of checking if the client's support contract has not expired (and perhaps even, displaying a message informing the RT user that the client's contract has expired and also highlighting the custom field in red - under ticket metadata - when viewing existing tickets referring to clients that do not have valid support contract). This support contract information is available in an excel spreadsheet that I could either: * link to RT in some way (of course, the danger here is that in order for this to work, the name of client must be exactly the same as in RT) or; * update the support contract information in RT form time to time (probably safer this way) In future, I would also like to allow our clients to be able to view and update their own tickets, and would also like to deny access (automatically, based on the check above) if the support contract has expired - possibly displaying a message informing the user that why the access was denied. I would really appreciate in if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks and regards, Walid
