RT::Extension::NewTicketFromCorrespondence
Request Tracker extension to make new tickets from correspondence.
DESCRIPTION
This extension adds a "Split Off" action item to inbound correspondence
items in ticket history, which allows the operator to create a new
ticket, linked to the current one, based on that transaction.
When a ticket requestor replies to their open ticket with a new issue
instead of creating a new ticket, this "Split Off" action allows the
ticket owner to create a new ticket on the requestor's behalf, including
the correspondence automatically.
Using this action opens the ticket creation form, with the
correspondence already included in the message box and the requestor set
to the sender, and with a “referred to by” link back to the original
ticket. The operator can then adjust the message as necessary before
creating the new ticket.
The action is only available to operators who have CreateTicket rights
on the ticket's queue and ModifyTicket rights on the ticket.
