Validation of Custom Fields with Custom Code

RT Users
1

Hello,

I would like to validate a custom fields with my own custom code (RT 4.0.7).

I saw the code in html/Elements/ValidateCustomFields, but there is no
callback there to implement additional code.

I’m able to write an error message besides my Custom Field (ID 2) in a
Callback “Modify.html/Default”:

$m->notes( (‘InvalidField-2’) => $my_msg );

But how can I refuse the change of the custom field?

Thannks for anwer.
Steffi.

Steffi, I look forward to someone shedding some light on this too.

Right now we are using the Abort() call and requiring the
user to use the browser “back” button. It’s very … 1995.

I am not aware of any clean way to do what would be desired
by anyone wanting to do something like this:

Evaluate custom logic at Modify.html submission (and
Update.html!), take no action and redisplay the form
with error message if the logic requirements are not met.
