My problem with the user custom fields

Hi again,

I wrote two scripts in order to describe my problem concerning user
custom fields. I can say that everything works with ticket custom fields.

So, here is script #1

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use lib “/opt/rt3/local/lib”, “/opt/rt3/lib”;

use RT;
use Getopt::Long;

Load the config file

RT::LoadConfig();

Connect to the database and get RT::SystemUser

loaded

RT::Init();
use RT::Interface::CLI “GetCurrentUser”, “loc”;
my $CurrentUser = GetCurrentUser();
use RT::Tickets;
use RT::Template;

my $TId;

The costumfield #96 is a ticket customfield whose name is

‘RTIM_App_Name’

my ($RTIMAppId, $RTIMAppName) = (96, “RTIM_App_Name”);

The strings are the values that custom field will contain

my ($String1, $String2) = (“UNIX 2010”, “UNIX 2015”);
my $Ticket = RT::Ticket->new($CurrentUser);

The number has to be an id of an existing ticket!

$Ticket->Load(318616);

Let us define two Ticket collections

my $Tickets1 = new RT::Tickets($CurrentUser);
my $Tickets2 = new RT::Tickets($CurrentUser);

The customfield #96 of the tickent #318616 is being changed to 'UNIX

2010’.
$Ticket->AddCustomFieldValue(“Field” => $RTIMAppName, “Value” => $String1,
“RecordTransaction” => 0);
$Tickets1->LimitCustomField(“CUSTOMFIELD” => $RTIMAppId,
“OPERATOR” => “=”,
“VALUE” => $String1);
#Ticket #318616 occurs
print “Tickets with $RTIMAppName = ‘$String1’\n\n”;
while (my $Entry = $Tickets1->Next())
{
print join("\t", ($Entry->Id, $Entry->Created, $Entry->Subject)),"\n";
}

The customfield #96 of the tickent #318616 is being changed to 'UNIX

2015’ .
$Ticket->AddCustomFieldValue(“Field” => $RTIMAppName, “Value” => $String2,
“RecordTransaction” => 0);

$Ticket2 refers to the updated collection

$Tickets2->LimitCustomField(“CUSTOMFIELD” => $RTIMAppId,
“OPERATOR” => “=”,
“VALUE” => $String1);

Ticket #318616 does not occur anymore.

print “Tickets with $RTIMAppName = ‘$String1’\n\n”;

while (my $Entry = $Tickets2->Next())
{
print join("\t", ($Entry->Id, $Entry->Created, $Entry->Subject)),"\n";
}

and here is script #2

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

notwendige Header Anfang

use strict;

use lib “/opt/rt3/RTIM/lib”, “/opt/rt3/lib”;

use RT;

Load the config file

RT::LoadConfig();

Connect to the database and get RT::SystemUser

loaded

RT::Init();
use RT::Interface::CLI “GetCurrentUser”, “loc”;

notwendige Header Ende

use RT::Users;
use UserCF;
my $CurrentUser = GetCurrentUser();
my $Users1 = new RT::Users($CurrentUser);
my $Users2 = new RT::Users($CurrentUser);
my $UserObject = RT::User->new($CurrentUser);
my ($String1, $String2) = (“ABCDEFGH”, “RSTUVWXYZ”);

The costumfield #126 is a user customfield whose name is

‘MergeStatus’

my $MStatusId = 126;
my $MStatusName = “MergeStatus”;

The number has to be an id of an existing user!

$UserObject->Load(4380);

The customfield #126 of the user #4380 is being changed to ‘ABCDEFGHI’.

$UserObject->AddCustomFieldValue(“Field” => $MStatusName, “Value” =>
$String1,“RecordTransaction” => 0);
$Users1->LimitCustomField(“CUSTOMFIELD” => $MStatusId,
“OPERATOR” => “=”,
“VALUE” => $String1 );
#User #4380 occurs
print “Users with the Status $String1\n”;
while (my $UC = $Users1->Next())
{
my $MStatusValue;
my $CFValues = $UC->CustomFieldValues($MStatusId);
while (my $CFValue = $CFValues->Next)
{
$MStatusValue = $CFValue->Content;
}
print join("\t", ($UC->Id, $UC->Name, $UC->RealName, $MStatusValue
)), “\n”;
}
print “\n\n\n”;

The customfield #126 of the user #4380 is being changed to ‘RSTUVWXYZ’.

$UserObject->AddCustomFieldValue(“Field” => $MStatusName, “Value” =>
$String2,“RecordTransaction” => 0);

$User2 refers to the updated collection

$Users2->LimitCustomField(“CUSTOMFIELD” => $MStatusId,
“OPERATOR” => “=”,
“VALUE” => $String1 );
#User #4380 still occurs, although he should not occur anymore!
print “Users with the Status $String1\n”;
while (my $UC = $Users1->Next())
{
my $MStatusValue;
my $CFValues = $UC->CustomFieldValues($MStatusId);
while (my $CFValue = $CFValues->Next)
{
$MStatusValue = $CFValue->Content;
}
print join("\t", ($UC->Id, $UC->Name, $UC->RealName, $MStatusValue
)), “\n”;
}

I hope you eventually know what I meant. I apologise any misunderstandings.

Hi again,

Hi Wolfram

If this came as an RT test file that failed, it’d be a lot easier for
me to sort out what you want it to be doing. As is, I need to set up
an RT and tweak custom field ids in order to see the behavior.

There should be a t/api/cf.t that has some skeleton code for you
to steal.

Thanks
