RT - group transactions

Hey RT gang,

I'm interested in catching transactions that occurs when the membership 

of a group changes. Purpose: I need my ticket owners to be able to
select from a list of group members as to whom they want to do the QA
test on a ticket. I don’t know how to make the group visable for that
selection in a ticket, so I created a CF that mirrors the group
membership. Best Practices dictates that any redundancy should be
controlled, SSSOOO when the group membership changes, I want to modify
the CF. I figured if I could capture the group transaction, I could see
what it is doing and duplicate it in the CF. Has anyone done anything
like this? Does anyone know how to grab a group transaction? Thanks.

RT doesn’t have scrips for anything but tickets. You could use Hook::Lexwrap
to monitor the methods in Groups_Overlay.pm, but that isn’t going to give
you any ticket context, so then you would have to search for the affected
tickets.On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 11:50 AM, Kenneth Crocker KFCrocker@lbl.gov wrote:

Todd,

Yes, I figured my code would all be new, I just wanted to know if RT 

had any way of distinguishing a transaction modifying a group as opposed
to a trans modifying a ticket. I can code the other stuff. Thanks.

If you can live with a delay in updating the CF values, you could set
up a cron job to periodically refresh the CF value list with the
group membership…

Stephen,

That's a thought. I may have to create some jobs down the line, so that 

would be another way. Thanks.
