Wrong Due Date in email Response

Hello,

I am using a scrip to automatically set the due date and priority of a
ticket based on a custom field called severity. This scrip is currently
working as it should. When a new ticket is created a scrip runs with the
condition: On Create and the action: Autoreply To Requestors with a
custom template that includes Due Date: {$Ticket->Due} in order to
inform the requestor of their tickets due date. Unfortunately the due
date in the email response is the default due date (not the one that’s
set when our custom scrip runs). Is there a way to manipulate the order
in which scrips get executed or should I be supplying the correct due
date through some other variable in the email template?

I’m running RT 3.4.4.1.

I’ve been reading the archives and poking around since I first posted
this but still haven’t had any luck on my own (or replies from the
list). If anyone knows how to solve this problem any tips would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Is it possible for you to send in the scrip… I am not sure I totally
understand the problem.

Onkar,

The email a user gets when a ticket created reports the due date as
1970-01-01 00:00:00 regardless of if a due date was set or not when the
ticket was created. I’m using the following in my email response
template to inform the user of their tickets due date:

Due Date: {$Ticket->Due}
