Problems with ExtractCustomFieldValues

I’m attempting to set the initial priority of a ticket using
ExtractCustomFieldValues.
New tickets are entered through a web form which includes this line (or
something similar):
Priority: 11, Low - Minor Disruption/Inconv Due Date: 2/25/2005

I’ve installed ExtractCustomFieldValues and set up an OnCreate script with
this form:

Syntax:

cf-name | Headername or “Body” | MatchString(re) | Postcmd | Options

Scan body for Priority and put it into priority

Priority|Body|Priority:\s*(\d+),.*|

But it doesn’t seem to be doing anything. Where can I look for clues about
what’s wrong?

Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard.

Your scrip should be nothing more than:

Condition: On Create
Action: Extract Custom Field Values
Stage: TransationCreate
Template: YourCustomFieldExtractionTemplate

The part you’ve put in as a scrip needs to be the template.

That’s what I have:
In Configuration, Global, Scripts, ExtractFieldValues:

Description: ExtractFieldValues
Condition: On Create
Action: Extract Custom Field Values
Template: Global template: CustomFieldScanner
Stage: TransactionCreate

In Configuration, Global, Templates, CustomFieldScanner:

Syntax:

cf-name | Headername or “Body” | MatchString(re) | Postcmd | Options

Scan body for “Priority” and put it into Priority

Priority|Body|Priority:\s*(\d+),.*|

The perl used in RT is beyond my ability to read. Can you tell me if my form
is correct? Where can I find logs for this action?

That comma in your regex might be breaking it. It expects to match
“Priority: 50, foo bar baz” but if you have just “Priority: 50” by
itself, no match.
