On Approval notify owner - how?

There’s a ticket and one or more ‘approval’ tickets created for it automatically. The owner is therefore assigned later, after the ‘approval’ tickets are created, and probably BEFORE the ticket is approved. The problem: how to notify ONLY the ticket owner once it has been approved instead of notifying the entire list of Watchers (my present solution)?

Is there a way to update a ticked based on event in the linked ticket? Like changing AdminCC from group to user?

If you’re using RT’s built in ___Approvals queue in the standard way,
a Notify Owner Scrip will be run on the original ticket when the approval
passes (along with a Correspondence being run).

Thank you, Kevin!

Yes, it works with ___Approvals, but I need several ‘approval’ queues (for better or worse, we have a rather elaborated organizational structure). Perhaps, my question should really be: how can I clone the ___Approvals queue special behavior to other queues?18 октября 2011, 18:15 от Kevin Falcone falcone@bestpractical.com:

Don’t, just set it so that Owners and AdminCcs have rights, and you
can have multiple queues that create Approval tickets in the
___Approvals queue.

I can’t put all the decision makers into one group, because there are several levels of them (like team led > project manager > CTO > CEO). So I need several approval queues.19 октября 2011, 09:12 от Kevin Falcone falcone@bestpractical.com:

Nope, you just need several approval groups that own/admincc tickets in
the ___Approvals queue. All the approvals tickets can co-exist in the
same queue, and you’ll see only the ones for which you’re the Owner or
in the AdminCc group. This is a rights and roles configuration, really.
