Re: [rt-users] Spawn multiple child tickets
Kenn,
You are awesome! It worked! TransactionBatch was the key. Thanks a
million!

That should create the ticket. I think you will need a different scrip for
notification purposes. One notification scrip should suffice for all the
tickets created.
Be sure to use TransactionBatch.
Hope this helps.

I would like this to create 2 tickets that depend on this ticket when the

Re: [rt-users] Spawn multiple child tickets
Jonathan, The only thing I have seen is in the Bulk Update the ability to addlinks. But that entails tickets (parent/child) already existing and you want to link them. The only thing I can suggest is to create a scrip for this function. I believe there were a couple out there for something similar to this before 3.8.X came out with a built-in create link in the Ticket page. Perhaps you could copy one of those and modify it to meet your needs. Just a thought.
