Missing ValidateValue method

Hi,

playing around with CustomFieldValues I noticed that you can add
arbitrary values for CustomFields of type select.

RT::Record->_AddCustomFieldValue calls ValidateValue [1] on a
CustomField, but this method doesn’t exist.
Everything I can found is that this method was added with [2] in 2002
and then removed with [3] in 2005.

No one is missing this method except me since the last 9 years? :wink:

I am :-).

Playig with the REST interface I’ve seen the values I send for CF choosable by ‘Select’, are not recognized as an option, but as another new value not in the provided list (even when they have the same text).De: rt-devel [rt-devel-bounces@lists.bestpractical.com] en nombre de Christian Loos [cloos@netcologne.de]

You’re running into the fact that DBIx::SearchBuilder will bless
ValidateAnything into existence (you’ll see a comment in the AUTOLOAD
code for it explaining that is used to use Accessible to do so, but
doesn’t do that any more).

See for example

use RT -init;
my $ticket = RT::Ticket->new(RT->SystemUser);
print $ticket->ValidateAnything;

Unfortunately, the commit message which removed ValidateValue is
essentially useless, so I have no idea why it was removed.

I’d certainly support a 4.4 change that brought back CustomField->ValidateValue,
but it would have to be clever about the same canonicalization used in
HasEntry and friends (think of “tomorrow” entered in date CFs).
