Date format to set Due Date with scrip?

Hi,

The config setting ‘Requests should be due in:’ is not working, so I’m
trying to write a scrip to set the DueDate on ticket creation. I’m on RT
v3.6.2 and don’t want to upgrade just for this issue.

Following advice on the wiki I’ve got the following

Condition: On Create
Action: user defined
Template: Global template: blank

Custom action prep code: 1;
Custom action cleanup code:

use Date::Calc qw(:all);

($year,$month,$day) = Today([$gmt]);
($year2,$month2,$day2) = Add_Delta_Days($year,$month,$day,“7”);
$string = Date_to_Text($year2,$month2,$day2);
$lower = ISO_LC($string);
$self->TicketObj->SetDue($lower);

Due Date is not set though :frowning:

Running this on command line, $lower prints a date formatted as ‘thu
27-may-2010’
I can hack around with the date format if someone can tell me what it
should be so that RT will accept it into the database (postgres).

Thanks

Steve

I think better would be this way:

my $Due = new RT::Date( $self->CurrentUser );
$Due->SetToNow;
$Due->AddDays( 7 );
$self->TicketObj->SetDue( Format =>, ‘ISO’, Value => $Due->ISO );

Thanks Chris,

Unfortunately this gives me a ‘ticket could not be created due to an
internal error’ message. Tried it both as a regular and as a privileged
user.

The notification emails are generated but a search for the ticket number
gives ‘Could not load ticket NUMBER’. The ticket number is also
incremented.

You need in Custom action prep code:
return 1;
and at the end of my example also a:
return 1;

I added these but got the same result.From: Loos, Christian [mailto:CLoos@netcologne.de]

What is in the log files?

Just checked my code in our development system and changed it.
Try this:

my $Due = new RT::Date( $self->CurrentUser );
$Due->SetToNow();
$Due->AddDays( 7 );
$self->TicketObj->SetDue( $Due->ISO );
return 1;

This is working on 3.8.6 and should work on 3.6.2 also.
