Re: [rt-users] searching "select multiple" Custom field

2008-01-29 Thread Roy Sowa
My problem/requirement seems to be much like this old thread;
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/rt/users/33053?search_string=multiple%20bug;#33053

I was hoping to be able to have  single multi-select custom field ( perhaps 50 
+ choices) , and then easily be able
to search/report on  tickets that had only a  very specific  combination ( from 
that given set  of  50 choices) selected .

Is anyone else doing something similar?

Roy,


When you used the "OR' and got all thos results, did you notice any 
differences in the other criteria between the ticket you wanted (using 
the 'AND") the tickets with just one of the CF's? That might provide a 
clue as to what you need to change to your query.

I only want to return tickets that have both of the values in a ticket , not 
one OR the other.
I failed to mention that when I use the AND as in my original post , I return 
Zero hits as if the query cannot be satisfied.
but there are single tickets that have only both the criteria selected.
When I use the OR as you suggest , I get all tickets that contain either of the 
criteria ...not only those that have both.

Roy,


You might get better results if your last "AND" (CF.FOO like  AND 
CF.FOO like xxx) was an "OR". Your query will only pull those tickets if 
that CF has BOTH values. Since you stated the values could be anywhere 
from AAA to FFF, then perhaps you would want ANY ticket that has either 
of the values you are looking for. Just a thought.

[rt-users] searching "select multiple" Custom field

2008-01-29 Thread Roy Sowa


I have a queue specific custom field that may contain multiple values. 
(AAAFFF)
If I have a ticket which has set multiple values for that custom field 
then I do not find the ticket when I specify a search criteria that 
contains multiple values for that custom field.
 Eg: 
The custom field  ( FOO ) may contain the values "AAA" and "CCC".
 My ticket has set both values. The search criteria is: 

 Queue = 'TEST' AND  (  Status = 'open' OR Status = 'new' OR Status = 'stalled' 
 ) AND 'CF.{FOO}' LIKE 'AAA' AND 'CF.{FOO}' LIKE CCC'

If I search for one of the criteria then those tickets are found. 
The  ticket is not found if I look for "AAA" and "CCC".  ( tickets with this 
match do exist in the database ) 

I am running 3.6.5.
Am I missing something, how do I search for those records that only contain 
both 'AAA' and 'CCC'
