When extending the REST API for the AT extension, I came across this
problem. I hope I’ve diagnosed it correctly. This patch certainly fixes
the problem and doesn’t seem to cause any other problems. I’ve been
using the patch for several months now.
To reproduce
/usr/local/rt/bin/rt create -t asset set Name=test9 Status=qa
Type=Servers # Unknown object type: Servers
Comments
This is a problem in $rtroot/share/html/REST/1.0/dhandler at line 144
$k->{type} never exists as this would be a CLI Field=Value setting and
there is no “Type” field for any RT types. This would normally go
unnoticed. However, in AT, “Type” is an Asset subtype and hard-wired as
a basic field type for all Assets. Looking for a “Type” form field to
set the RT object type finds this and sets it to something that is an
unknown RT object type (like “Servers” or “Storage” for example).
