Is this a bug? On subject change

Hi,

When I change the ‘subject’ of ticket on correspondence,new ticket is
created or the message goes to the different ticket even there was no
authority to create or reply in that queue.

Example;

[support #100]aaaaa to bbbbbb became new ticket ‘bbbbbb’ on support queue
[support #100]aaaaa to [support #50]aaaaa is added to the ticket on which
its id is 50
[support #100]aaaaa to [support #100]bbbbbb doesn’t cause problem.

Does Request Tracker recognize consistency of ticket from it “ticket id” on
subject?Not header or something?
Can I not show the ticket id from the user,without digging to the source
code?

If by ‘change the subject’ you mean remove RT’s subject tag and reply
from an external email client, then no, that isn’t a bug, that’s
breaking RT’s preferred mechanism for tracking tickets.

You have to dig into the source.

Kevin,

I checked the code and I guess RT check the email title and extract the
‘ticket id’ using regular expression.Why not using “Reference” or do double
check with that?
