AutoSetOwner

Contributed by NicolasC

Overview

This custom action sets owner of the ticket to the current user if nobody yet owns the ticket. You can use this scrip action with any condition you want, for eg On Resolve.

 1  Description: AutoSetOwner
 2  Condition: On Resolve
 3  Action: User Defined
 4  Custom action preparation code:
 5    return 1;
 6  Custom action cleanup code:
 7    # get actor ID
 8    my $Actor = $self->TransactionObj->Creator;
 9    # if actor is RT_SystemUser then get out of here
10    return 1 if $Actor == $RT::SystemUser->id;
11    # prevents a ticket being assigned to an unprivileged user, comment out if you want this
12    return 1 unless $self->TransactionObj->CreatorObj->Privileged;
13    # get out unless ticket owner is nobody
14    return 1 unless $self->TicketObj->Owner == $RT::Nobody->id;
15    # ok, try to change owner
16    $RT::Logger->info("Auto assign ticket #". $self->TicketObj->id ." to user #". $Actor );
17    my ($status, $msg) = $self->TicketObj->SetOwner( $Actor );
18    unless( $status ) {
19      $RT::Logger->error( "Impossible to assign the ticket to $Actor: $msg" );
20      return undef;
21    }
22    return 1;
23  Template: Global template: Blank

N.B. If you do not have NotifyActor set and have the global default "On Owner Change Notify Owner with template Owner change" scrip, the above will notify the actor of the ticket being assigned to them as the SetOwner function creates a new transaction. To avoid this, use the following to set the ticket ownership:

$self->TicketObj->_Set(Field => 'Owner', Value => $Actor, RecordTransaction => 0);

This, as detailed on the WriteCustomAction page will not record the change as a transaction, thus preventing notification.
