Uninstalled almost all additional modules from OTRS. No ITSM, no KIX, no SystemMonitoring.
Used GUI to delete all dynamic field definitions (the uninstall didn’t clear them).

Same error, same location.
Anyone able to point me in another direction as to why the dynamic field check will be failing and causing the autoreply to not work?
Cheers

Subject: Re: [otrs] AutoReply not functioning
Further digging indicated that my ITSMImpact Dynamic Field was not ‘working properly’. Adding the field to the AgentTicketPhone and trying to choose a value while creating a new ticket, the dropdown list was
empty. Further, no value for this field was written to the database on ticket creation. The settings, values and definitions of the dynamic field look fine.
Dynamic Field for ITSMCriticality is working okay (Dropdown displays fine, selection written to db).
I have reinstalled the assorted ITSM packages (ITSMCore, GeneralCatalog, ImportExport, 4.0.14) and this has not fixed the errors encountered.
Still no auto-reply, still the same two ‘field configuration invalid’ errors from the same spot when logging a new ticket.
Anyone got any other troubleshooting ideas?
Cheers
Rob.

It doesn’t seem to matter if the ticket is raised via email, or manually, the system log reports the same failure. So I’m now fairly sure whatever the root cause of this failure is, is the reason my auto-reply
no longer works. Whether the reply has OTRS fields or not doesn’t make a difference. New Queue, New Reply, still not working.
Anyone got any ideas? I’ve added the HASH and LINE428 to the output error message just to assist in determining what particular section was generating this error message and it is definitely the dynamic field
check of backend.pm.

Subject: [otrs] AutoReply not functioning
So I’ve been doing lots of configs, and something I’ve done, somewhere along the line, has disabled auto-replies.
OTRS 4.x
CentOS 7.x
MSSQL Backend (fully functional, I know it is not supported!)
I have a queue (Q1) that receives all messages from a postmaster mail account (MAIL1) via POP3.
The ticket is created successfully.
There is an autoreply set on this queue, which is never submitted to the mail server (whether SMTP, SendMail or anything else, there is no attempt made to send this message at the MTA level).
I can reply, respond etc fine from the ticket itself, OTRS is working as far as emails go, except the autoresponse.
Notably (probably of relevance), when the email is picked up, an error is thrown:
ERROR: OTRS-otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl-99 Perl: 5.16.3 OS: linux Time: Mon Nov 30 14:40:03 2015
Message: The field configuration is invalid
Traceback (6328):
Module: Kernel::System::DynamicField::Backend::ValueSet Line: 426
Module: Kernel::System::Ticket::Event::TimeUpdate::Run Line: 158

Module: main::Fetch Line: 171
Module: /opt/otrs/bin/otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl Line: 85
Through some astute reading, I know this error is triggered from line 426 (actually from ln428) of the backend.pm file, but that doesn’t help me narrow down the cause. Stepping through these other files hasn’t led me to the answer, except
to be fairly convinced it is the problem.
Dynamic fields defined in the system include, (source module) name of field:
(KIX4OTRS) KIXFAQEntry
(?) ProcessManagementProcessID
(?) ProcessManagementActivityID
(ITSMCore) ITSMCriticality
(ITSMCore) ITSMImpact
(SystemMonitoring) TicketFreeText1
(SystemMonitoring) TicketFreeText2
(SystemMonitoring) ArticleFreeText1
Invalidating some of these fields makes no difference, the error occurs. Probably no surprise there, if it needs the field, it needs the field.
I have tried with both SenderFrom and EnvelopeFrom set and unset, no difference.
What could be causing auto-replies to not be generated? What other investigative paths should I take? I am hitting a brick wall here, I can’t see anything wrong with the configs except the error about dynamic fields but I cannot be even
sure that is related. The auto-response is simple, plain text, doesn’t even use any OTRS fields during the testing I am doing.
Any advice, guidance or direction on restoring the missing auto-reply functionality would be great!
Cheers
Rob Shears.
