Filling Dates fields with scrip

Hello

I want to fill the fields Starts, Started and Due after ticket creation, for
this I´m using the code bellow on custom action in “on create” condition

my $now = RT::Date->new($RT::SystemUser);
my $sla = RT::Date->new($RT::SystemUser);
$now->SetToNow;
$sla->SetToNow;
$sla->AddSeconds(+3600);
$self->TicketObj->SetStarts( $now->ISO );
$self->TicketObj->SetStarted( $now->ISO );
$self->TicketObj->SetDue( $sla->ISO );
return 1;

This works, but if user that create tickts already fill these fields I don´t
want to overwrite the user information, I tryed the following code in place
of the code above, but doesn´t work.

my $now = RT::Date->new($RT::SystemUser);
my $sla = RT::Date->new($RT::SystemUser);
$now->SetToNow;
$sla->SetToNow;
$sla->AddSeconds(+3600);
if ( $self->TicketObj->Starts == undef ){
$self->TicketObj->SetStarts( $now->ISO );
}
if ( $self->TicketObj->Started == undef ){
$self->TicketObj->SetStarted( $now->ISO );
}
if ( $self->TicketObj->Due == undef ){
$self->TicketObj->SetDue( $sla->ISO );
}
return 1;

How can I test if user already fill these fields?

Thanks

I don’t think the dates will ever be ‘undef’. Instead, check for a default date. I believe that date is ‘1970-01-01 00:00:00’ in our system.

Hello Eric

I want to set a different SLA if user filled the field Start, bellow is my
code, but doesn´t work.

Can you give me some tip?

my $now = RT::Date->new($RT::SystemUser);
my $sla = RT::Date->new($RT::SystemUser);
$now->SetToNow;
$sla->SetToNow;
$sla->AddSeconds(+14400);

if ( $self->TicketObj->Starts eq ‘1970-01-01 00:00:00’ ) {
$self->TicketObj->SetStarts( $now->ISO );
}
else {
$sla = $self->TicketObj->Starts;
$sla->AddSeconds(+14400);
}

if ( $self->TicketObj->Started eq ‘1970-01-01 00:00:00’ ) {
$self->TicketObj->SetStarted( $now->ISO );
}
if ( $self->TicketObj->Due eq ‘1970-01-01 00:00:00’ ) {
$self->TicketObj->SetDue( $sla->ISO );
}
return 1;

What doesn’t work about it? It doesn’t reset the date? It always resets the date even if information was already filled out?From: Cristiano da Costa [mailto:crsurf@gmail.com]

Not sure if this will help, but this was from a scrip in my test RT database (for the customcommitcode):

-------------------------------------------------------------------

my $date = RT::Date->new($RT::SystemUser);
$date->SetToNow;
if ($self->TicketObj->StartsObj->AsString eq “Not set”) {
$self->TicketObj->SetStarts($date->ISO);
}
if ($self->TicketObj->DueObj->AsString eq “Not set”) {
$date->AddDays($RT::OverdueAfter);
use Business::Hours;
my $bizhours = new Business::Hours;
if ($RT::BusinessHours) {
$bizhours->business_hours(%$RT::BusinessHours);
}
my $due = $bizhours->first_after($date->Unix);
$date->Set(Format => ‘unix’, Value => $due);
$self->TicketObj->SetDue($date->ISO);
}
return 1;

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe that shows you how to “properly” check if one of the date portions of the ticket object is set.From: rt-users-bounces@lists.bestpractical.com [mailto:rt-users-bounces@lists.bestpractical.com] On Behalf Of Schultz, Eric
