FW: Issue with setting Custom Statuses, Added statuses do not see any other statuses

Thank you for your response M
My perl is not great so I was unsure how/if I could put spaces in the Hash’s key so I named them just a shorter variant of the status.
the results in the following image Screenshot by Lightshot
So the statuses appear correctly (So maybe not a 25 character limit?)
Now if I try to set the status to a non-RT Default after submitting it shows this Screenshot by Lightshot
I just modified my code to something that did not throw any errors but I get the same result. New code is here Set(%Lifecycles, default => { initial => [ 'new' ], - Pastebin.com
Once again, Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.Ashley Etherington.

After changing to the most recent script, and resetting the Mason Cache this is now working perfectly.

Hi Ashley,

Configuration questions are best sent to rt-users. [Done]

Comments inline.

Hi Everyone.

We have decided that instead of using a Sub-Status custom field, that we
would add all of our statuses to the main built in RT Ticket status. The
first initial pass appears to work but when we use one of the new statuses,
we are unable to select any other status.

Okay.

For example if I set the status to ‘Awaiting Parts’ and submit the form,
The only status I can then set it to is ‘Awaiting Status’.

A few comments.

  1. Start with the default lifecycle and make small changes to it. You
    should be able to find your issue.

  2. From what I can see in your “transitions” hash, there is no key of
    “Awaiting Parts”. Thus there are no valid transitions for that status
    to change to. I’m not sure how “Awaiting Status” is showing up.

  3. I just read on rt-user that there is a 25 character limit for
    status names. If that is true, then you are running into that wall as
    well.

Cheers!

Hash’s key so I named them just a shorter variant of the status.

You’ll need to quote the values. So:

active => [ …‘Awaiting Collection’… ],

transitions => {
‘Awaiting Collection’ => [‘new’, ‘open’, …, ‘deleted’],

The items in the statuses array need to match exactly to the keys in the
transitions.

Indeed, I figured that out shortley after my last email. But thank you Todd.
It confirms at least that I have done the right thing now.
