Owner field on create and view ticket

Hi all.

Got a req from a few folks using rt 3.2 (still) they would like to disable
the Owner field when viewing or creating a ticket. As I understand it I can
create default owners for each queue, which is the way we would prefer, but
then once john doe logs in a day after opening a ticket he can see the owner
of his ticket, and we would like to prevent that.

Any ideas?

thanx

I have only used 3.4.1 but the self-service interface I don’t believe
shows the owner, it just gives very basic information on the status of
the ticket.

When updating a ticket I as the requestor can see the owner, I would like to

You may want to try adding a bit of wrapper code around the part of
$RTROOT/html/Tickets/Update.html that creates the owner box. Maybe that
checks if a user is privileged or not.

Something similar was done for the ‘Configuration’ entry on the side
menu (in file $RTROOT/html/Elements/Tabs, do a search for
Configuration). This is a fairly recent addition so may not be in your
version.

You would probably need to add a static hidden value in there with the
name ‘Owner’ and the numeric id of the user who currently owns the
ticket so that the comments will successfully save, not perfect but it
is a start

Don’t forget to copy the file to the local tree before modifying it.

Edit the /SelfService/Elements/MyRequests and remove references to
Owner? Remeber to save local instead of directly editing the original.
