Help with "Correspond" condition

To List,

I have some code that strips information out of the content and sticks it
into a Custom Field. IT works great when I trigger it with an condition set
for email create tickets. Every time, it works with no problem.

However, when I set the condition for “On Correspond” it does nothing. I
want to be able to update that Custom FIeld the same way I create it
initially and I figured “On Correspond” was the right condition. Apparently
not.

I look ed in the TRANSACTIONS Table and I See the Type as “Correspond”. So
why doesn’t the same code (I copied and pasted) that works for a "Create"
not work for “On Correspond”?

My error messages (which don’t make sense since I am user 146 and am a
SuperUser) are below:

[Fri Oct 8 16:07:44 2010] [warning]: Couldn’t enable user 146
(/opt/rt3/bin/…/lib/RT/User_Overlay.pm:1143)
[Fri Oct 8 16:12:51 2010] [error]: Group::HasMember was called with an
argument that isn’t an RT::Principal or id. It’s (undefined)
(/opt/rt3/bin/…/lib/RT/Group_Overlay.pm:1046)

Can anyone help me on this? I just need to get the condition right.

Thanks.

Ken:

Can you post the code that you cut and pasted to get a better idea of the problem.
Also something that I always fall into , is writing my action code in “Custom action cleanup code:” and forgetting about and leaving
“Custom action preparation code:” completely empty, you will need
return true ;
there.

Raed,

Thanks for responding. Yse, I do have a "return 1; in the Custom PRep area.
Actually, I have tried getting this to work with the code in one or the
other Custom Action areas. As an explanation of the context, I have not been
able to get CommanByMail to update a Custom Field defined as either “text”
or “Wikitext” if the content is over 76 or so characters. Apparantly, bith
Gmail and Thunderbird and perhaps others email providers embed a line break
character after that many characters and that causes a “line Break” in CBM
and I end up with only partial updates. So, being the stubborn person I am,
I got a perl guy to write some code I could put into a scrip that would
examine the content of an email, look for a define delimiter (like
“Description of Issue:”) in the content and put everything after that
delimiter into the Custom Field. Make sense? It did to me. In fact, it works
perfectly when I set the condition to a Type = “Create” and message header =
“received”. But on a Correspond (meaning an update email as opposed to a
create), it just doesn’t seem to see the email at all. Nothing. Nada.
Well, anyway, here’s the code:

Setup initial values

my $trans = $self->TransactionObj;
my $ticket = $self->TicketObj;
my $cf_obj = RT::CustomField->new($RT::SystemUser);
my $cf_name = “Description”;
my $cf_value = “Didn’t work”;
my $message = $ticket->Transactions->First->Content;
my $passed = 0;
my $content;
my $line;

split up lines in content by line break

my @lines = split(“\n”, $message);

walk thru @lines and find the description

foreach $line (@lines)
{
if ($passed == 1)
{
if ($content =~ m/^\n$/)
{
$content = $content.$line;
}
else
{
$content = $content.“\n”.$line;
}
}
if ($line =~ m/^Description of Issue:/)
{
$line =~ s/Description of Issue://;
$content = $content.“\n”.$line;
$passed = 1;
}
}

$cf_value = $content;

set the value for CF Description

$cf_obj->LoadByName( Name => $cf_name );
$RT::Logger->debug( “Loaded $cf_obj->Name = “. $cf_obj->Name() .”\n” );
$ticket->AddCustomFieldValue( Field=>$cf_obj, Value=>$cf_value,
RecordTransaction=>0 );

return 1;

Thanks for your help.

Morning Ken:

Try this :
Change
my $message = $ticket->Transactions->First->Content;
to
my $message = $self->TransactionObj->Content() ; #and remove my $trans line -you don’t need it
or
my $message = $trans->Content() ; #keeping my $trans line
