Steve, sorry, but I can't say that I fully understand your description, but conditions of batch scrips tested on every transaction in a batch, but process stops as soon as we find a match. We don't want to fire the same scrip multiple times on the same batch. For example batch has status, queue and two cfs change. * If a condition fires its scrip on correspond then the scrip action wouldn't be applied. All txns in the batch would be checked against the condition. * if a condition fires its scrip on queue change then the scrip action would be applied and default transaction accessor will point to queue change. The condition wouldn't be checked against cf changes. * if a condition fires its scrip on any cf change then the scrip action would be applied and default transaction accessor will point to the first cf change. The condition wouldn't be checked against other transacactions after the first change in a cf. Something like that, hope it helps. > > Steve > -- Best regards, Ruslan. ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.

So, is the scrip invoked once per transaction until a transaction matches the scrip condition? I'm testing with a simple scrip that just returns a value from the custom condition, and I update a ticket with status change and two CF changes. If the scrip returns 0, I see the scrip being invoked three times, once for each of the field-change transactions. If the scrip returns 1, it runs only once.

Re: [rt-users] TransactionBatch Question
Stephen, I use it a lot. My understanding, and experience, is that with TransdactionCreate, the scrip you write may not execute until after certain built-in RT transactions have executed (with commit) and with TransactionBatch, they all execute in sequence (alphabetical) followed by the commit. I may have the terminology wrong here, but that's my experience. Therefore, I have re-named many of my scrips to run in a certain sequence. When I have a template that is using a CF that is updated in a scrip, it doesn't always show unless I set the scrips for TransactionBatch. Another thing I noticed. When I ran a scrip with TransactionBatch and added some CC's in the Prep Action section, several notification scrips for CC's executed. But when I set those CC's in Cleanup Action, all other scrips had already executed so the CC notification scrips did not kick off (which was what I wanted in the first place). I may not be technically correct on some of this, but that's what I have noticed. Hope this helps.
