How to use a requestor with no e-mail address

RT Users
1

Hello,

How can I create a ticket with a requestor that has no e-mail address? I
have created an RT user (“joe”) with no e-mail address. I create a
ticket and try to use “joe” as the requestor, but I get an error: “Could
not create watcher for requestor.” It seems that the Requestor field
always requires an e-mail address. Shouldn’t that field allow a
username, also?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it should. See if the patch at

helps.

but it won’t, because that’s the wrong patch. The one at

might work better. :slight_smile:
