Jesse,
are there any plans to include forward functionality in RT3 ?
Best regards,
David

We have a similar problem whereby we frequently need to pass on a ticket
complete with history to a 3rd party. If we use the cc option then
correspondance with the requestor must also happen.
A rival helpdesk product OTRS has a bounce option where the ticket can be
sent to a 3rd party independently of requestor/user correspondance, as has
Remedy via ‘pass on anonymously’.
Would it be possible to add a mailto button or similar simple function to
RT?

I think no, especially if you need to forward mail message with all
message
headers and attachments.
Or other way round if you dont want to disclose everything to all
involved Parties (e.g. Hanling Security Incidents)

Hi
How can I forward whole ticket from RT to some external e-mail address?
Does RT2/3 supports e-mail forwarding?
Thanks for any help!
Best regards,
David

It may be an option to forward emails from your mail server instead of RT.
Simply add an extra address to your RT alias and you’ll be set.

Yes, but this is not very convenient to use if you want to forward only a few
tickets and you have many tickets in queue.

David
And the other (major) drawback is that you have no activity attached to the
email, as (hopefully) would be if you could forward a ticket…
Also, you would want to forward with the ticket number associated, so that
any replies would be kept track of by RT. Splitting of before RT defies all
of this… 
I have the same problem about not being able to forward the ticket, or even
better, create a new ticket with the current one as base, and referenced as
dependency… Maybe one day I can find the time to whack it myself…

True, I didn’t get that from your first request.
In that case: no, I don’t think RT has such an option.
What would be the purpose of such functionality? Can you solve it by adding
an extra CC on tickets?

I’ve implemented my own [Forward] function in RT2 to allow:
- send ticket’s body to third party without RT tag and with my personal
(or other given) e-mail address in reply-to.
- create a ‘duplicate’ ticket in another RT queue, because RT normally
doesn’t allow send e-mail to it self.

Aha, that sounds like what I was thinking of. Any chance of you outlining
the changes that you did? (Howto…)

Use htpp://lists.fsck.com and enter forward okrouhly as search query.
I personaly has not posted my patch to RT2, because my branch has many
differences. If you wish it, I’ll send you my about 90 files from
/opt/rt2/{etc|local/{lib|WebRT}} directories working well and based
on the latest stable version (2-0-15).
HowTo was:
- add new transaction type
- add forward button and forward form to web ui
- add needed scripcondition/scripaction/scrip/templates
- modify SetRTSpecialHeaders, SetReturnAddress and SetSubjectToken in SendEmail.pm
to use some variables set by web ui and/or forward template…
That’s imho all.

I don’t know anything about OTRS and I don’t want to start “holy war”, but,
which system is better? 
Why are you using (looking at) RT and not OTRS?
What are you missing in OTRS and is included in RT?
