Lifecycle Question

Hi there,

I have a question about lifecycles (which are the next best thing to sliced bread in my opinion):

Is it possible to adjust the default lifecycle without having to overwrite it completely? What I simply want to have are a few changed actions (basically we want responses on Resolve, not Comments). Now I don’t want to overwrite the entire Lifecycle to keep things simple. Is this possible?

If you copy the default lifecycle section from RT_Config.pm over to your RT_SiteConfig.pm file, you should have no problems making that change.From: rt-users-bounces@lists.bestpractical.com [mailto:rt-users-bounces@lists.bestpractical.com] On Behalf Of Nehmer Torben

You can copy just default => { } and leave approvals in RT_Config.pm,
but you do need to copy all of default in order to modify it.

You can also add a new lifecycle without copying default from
RT_Config.pm into RT_SiteConfig.pm

To summarize, there’s a very simple merge algorithm, but it only
happens at the top level.
