Hello, appreciate if can get advice. I would like to change the ticket’s Status to ‘taken’ from new after i ‘take’ the ticket.

My Script below,
Condition: On Owner change
Action: User Defined
Template: Blank

User Defined condition and results
Custom condition: return 1;
Custom action preparation code: return 1;
Custom action commit code:
$RT::Logger->info(’"-----Debug---- TransactionObj Type = '. $self->TransactionObj->Type);
if ($self->TransactionObj->Type eq ‘Take’ ) {
$self->TicketObj->SetStatus(‘taken’);
}
return 1;

Below part of the log file showing:

Thank you.

Is taken a status in your lifecycle?

#3

Thanks for your response.
No, It doesn’t execute my if statement. [if ($self->TransactionObj->Type eq ‘Take’ ) ]

#4

it cant set a status of “taken” if taken isnt part of the ticket lifecycle

#5

My lifecycle already defined, new<–>open, open<–>taken, new <–>Taken, etc.
The problem is $self->TransactionObj->Type always return ‘Set’. That’s why never execute my $self->TicketObj->SetStatus(‘taken’);

thanks.

#6

What action are you performing to test this? Changing the owner of the ticket?

#7

Let me further explain what i am doing.
First, the new ticket created by someone, the owner is Nobody.
Now, i login to my account and i would like to take this ticket. So i perform the action ‘Take’ to assign the ticket to myself.
The ticket Owner changed from Nobody to ‘myusername’ once i clicked the take action. But Status still remain the ‘New’ because of the script doesn’t execute $self->TicketObj->SetStatus(‘taken’);
I expected the script $self->TransactionObj->Type should return ‘Take’ so that the status will be set to ‘taken’.
Thanks.

#8

Oh wait duh, the action type is Set but the Field for the transaction is something like “owner” I believe. But also since your condition is on owner change, you shouldn’t even need the check in your action since it’s checked in the condition

#9

In my case everyone who have the privilege to change the owner. So that i need to extra checking for the action ‘take’. thanks.

#10

My case is similar like the following case
Change ticket status from New to Open on Take action

And i referring to this documentation Transaction - Request Tracker Wiki

i expecting the script $self->TransactionObj->Type eq ‘Take’.
But i’m getting ‘Set’ currently. Anyone can advice and help? thank you.

#11

In the example they check Type and Field:

($self->TransactionObj->Type eq "Set" && $self->TransactionObj->Field eq "Queue"));

You want to do the same, except for “Set” and “Owner”
