CreateChildTicket

Hi,

I found this on the wiki, but I’m not sure on I how I should integrate
this in my RT setup. We are using RT 3.4, any hints?

    regards,

Mathew,

Exactly what do you mean by "implement"? The ability for the 

relationships are already there and nothing needs to be done. We use it.
It works fine. I have several queries that provide a list of tickets,
the queues they are in, their status, some CF info, and any dependancies
whether they are Parent/Child, DependsOn/DependedOnBy. What kind of
difficulty are you having?

I’m referring to the the code provided on the wiki which implements a button that allows the automatic creation of child tickets when creating a ticket. Not the built-in version which relies on manual creation of links.

Is this right?
Put into /usr/local/share/request-tracker3.6/html/Callbacks/LOCAL/Ticket/Elements/ShowTransaction

Should that be /usr/local/rt3/local/share/request…?

Mathew,

Whatever your RT home directory is, your callback should go under
$RTHOME/local/html/Callbacks/xxxxxx/Ticket/Elements/ShowTransaction

where xxxxxx is any string you choose. Look at
CleanlyCustomizeRT - Request Tracker Wiki for more
details on callbacks.

Hi Matt,
Sorry about the delayed response. Here is I put mine, please note, I am far from being a Linux admin, or Perl programmer, so if this is ‘dirty’ my apologies in advance :slight_smile:

/opt/rt3/local/html/Callbacks/child/Elements/ShowLinks

If I remember correctly, the ‘child’ folder I created myself to help me remember what it was.

Hope that helps some.From: Mathew [mailto:mathew.snyder@gmail.com]

Thanks to both you and Stephen. I didn’t think the path listed on the

Ugh…I’m still doing something wrong.

I’ve created
/usr/local/rt3/local/html/Callbacks/CreateChild/Ticket/Elements/ShowTransaction/.
I then created a file called Default under ShowTransaction and placed
within it the code on the wiki and verified that the full path is
readable. I’m still not getting the button under the Links widget though.

:frowning:

Hi all,

Our need is to create a ticket automatically when you click on a button on
RT. I found in the wiki CreateChildTicket, my question is: Can we transmit
the values of Custom Fields of a ticket in the child relies on this feature?
and how can we do this?

thank you,
