I am sure this is an FAQ, but I couldn’t find an answer for it.
I find people often use an existing ticket to describe a brand new
issue. I’d love to be able to take this new correspondence within an
existing ticket, and move it into a brand new ticket.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
David

I’ve not tried Dirk’s forking patch with 3.8.1 yet, but it worked very
well in 3.6.5. I’m still working on testing my local mods on a test box
before I do a full upgrade.

When we upgraded to 3.8.0, I reworked most of Dirk’s forking patch into
callbacks (I did keep the standalone select-queue page, although at some
point I’d like to try eliminating that as well with some sort of ajaxy
dropdown queue selector) so I wouldn’t have to keep re-patching each
upgrade. If there’s interest, I can knock together some documentation
and make my version available for download somewhere.

Hi Mark,
I would be very interested in a documentation, and if possible a download.

That would be fantastic. I could probably provide a low bandwidth

I’m too interested since I tried the patch of Dirk but it fails with
3.8.x and there is a piece of code that almost does what the patch does
but not quite to my taste. So add me to the list please.

Please add me to the list as well, since I am using RT 3.8.0. Given
that this patch has been around for a long time, is there any reason why
it hasn’t been accepted into the core distribution of RT? It seems like
a modification a lot of people would benefit from…

Well, we started with the “Clone ticket” stuff we built for 3.8, but
many users were…quite vocal about how they preferred “create a new
related ticket” instead.
Of course, my ideal is to provide reasonable hooks to make it easy to
create an extension like this and not need to patch RT.
I do really like the built-in capability to create a related ticket, but
Dirk’s patchset adds a couple of things to it that have been really
valuable to us:
(1) The newly created ticket is preloaded with the contents of a
particular transaction, and
(2) You get to choose which queue the new ticket is going into.
Yeah, we’re only saving a bit of copying and pasting and a few clicks,
but streamlining a process is always nice, right?
RT’s callback capability made it pretty easy to convert Dirk’s patches
into something that looks more like a standalone extension. Once we get
through the start of classes here, I’ll package it up with some
documentation and an installer and make it available.

This is really important for me… as often the contents of the
transaction I want to “fork” have attachments that I’d want to bring
across as well, and doing this manually is more than just cut-n-paste…

If this is still on anybody’s radar, I’ve finally gotten around to
packaging the callbacks and related pages referred to below into a
plugin for RT 3.8.x, and it’s currently available for download from
http://www.letu.edu/people/markroedel/RT-Extension-ForkTicket-0.1.tgz
If it looks like it’s going to be useful beyond our campus, I’ll start
working on a more permanent download location.

Thanks, I just tried it and it works for me. One little thing though: in
the README you say:
‘and add an entry for RT::Plugin::ForkTicket to the @Plugins array’. I
had to change that to:
‘and add an entry for RT::Extension::ForkTicket to the @Plugins array’,
otherwise Apache won’t restart.
Thanks again for your work.

Hi Mark,
really nice module.
I’m getting the following output: QuoteTransaction = 106 – CreateType =
Pretask at the page:
http://rt.local/Ticket/Create.html?CreateType=Pretask&QuoteTransaction=106&Queue=1
Is this needed or still debugging output?

Nice catch, Torsten. Yes, that’s debugging output.
To remove it, you can comment out the print statement at line 10 of
$RTBaseDir/local/plugins/RT-Extension-ForkTicket/html/Callbacks/RT-Exten

I’ll get that corrected in the download package shortly.

I assumed it was a gentle reminder to the user of what’s going on.
In case, say, you walk away for a bit and come back.
