I want to change the listing in RT at a glance to include “requestors”, but rather than return an email address, I want it to return the requestor’s Organization. I’ve found the following: /opt/rt3/share/html/Elements/RT__Ticket/ColumnMap.
Requestors => {
title => ‘Requestors’, # loc
attribute => ‘Requestor.EmailAddress’,
value => sub { return $_[0]->Requestors->MemberEmailAddressesAsString }
I change value to:
value => sub { return $_[0]->CreatorObj->Organization }
And this kinda works as long as the requestor created the ticket. But really it is returning the creator of the ticket. The unintended consequence is if I create a ticket on behalf of a client and then change the requestor from me to a client it still returns my organization name and not theirs.
Some guidance on getting this to work would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you are sure that there is always one requestor, then use
Requestors->UserMembersObj->First->Organization.
Else, you have to write a sub to get all Organization to display them.
Thanks for the reply back. I had tried what you suggested previously, and I tried again per your instructions, but I’m met with the following error. Either I’m calling it incorrectly or that isn’t the right command. See error below:

If you are sure that there is always one requestor, then use
Requestors->UserMembersObj->First->Organization.
As Emmanuel said, it looks like you don’t actually have requestors on
your ticket. You’ll need to write code that checks along to way to
make sure there are requestors. I bet the
MemberEmailAddressesAsString code would be an interesting place to
start.

Thanks for the quick response. Isn’t the issue if there is more than one requestor? I would just expect maybe the wrong requestor returned in that case. Not the failure I’m seeing. I can’t imagine a scenario where I would have more than one requestor for the same ticket – unless by accident somehow. Wouldn’t you nearly always have at least one requestor? Are you saying then, that this errors out because somewhere in the list of tickets returned there is at least one ticket that does not have a requestor?
Thanks for the suggestion about “MemberEmailAddressesAsString”. I thought so too; I did play with that briefly as you may have noticed from the comment on line 177, but on this I really don’t know what I’m doing. Grasping at straws really.

Thanks for the quick response. Isn’t the issue if there is more
than one requestor? I would just expect maybe the wrong requestor
If First is returning undef, then you have no requestors.
If you had 3 requestors, it would return the first one.
If you want all of them, you have to loop, which is why I pointed out
the MemberEmailAddressesAsString method
-kevin
Your advice helped me along in the right direction. All of my tickets did have a requestor, BUT a few were from an employee that is no longer with us whose account had been disabled in RT – so a ticket input by that person showed up as having “no requestor”. Once I re-activated that person’s account the function you suggested worked! Thanks.
So that begs the question – is there some parameter I can pass that can capture that exception and either ignore that the account has been disabled or perhaps return a default value instead of blowing up?

Yes, you can write a loop, similar to what
MemberEmailAddressesAsString does internally.
