Copy LDAP field to dynamic field
Hi, Is it at all possible to copy an LDAP field to a dynamic field? It's important to us that the users' departments are registered on the tickets for statistical purposes. We're doing it manually, but it seems absurd when you can see the field in the Customer Information Sidebar box. -- Lars

I've followed the online help in the document, creating the dynamic field before adding it to the Mapping SysConfig option you've mentioned. I also enabled the "setting below" as its' help indicates. However, I do not understand what this means: The dynamic fields must be present in the system and should be enabled for AgentTicketFreeText, so that they can be set/updated manually by the agent.

Hello,
From what I have seen before and using the config that Renee mentioned before, there are two config settings you have to consider,
1. DynamicFieldFromCustomerUser::Mapping: Here you have to tell which
attribute from LDAP should be mapped to each dynamic_field you created.
2. Enable Ticket::EventModulePost###930-DynamicFieldFromCustomerUser
And I believe you have to go into Config.pm file and add the lines for the
mapping you created here before.
Take a look into the forum below
http://www.evidente.de/2015/01/storing-customeruser-data-in-dynamic-fields/
Hope it Helps
Best Regards

Since the magic is being done by an Event
(TicketCreate|TicketCustomerUpdate) I believe you can *"for one time"*
change the config to match certain event and run a generic agent into all
those old tickets to force that event.
That should do it.

That should do it. So for example, create a Generic Agent which would have an "Event based execution (single ticket)" set to "Add Event Trigger" of "TicketCustomerUpdate".
If my thought process is correct, this would trigger an event; one time; to execute TicketCustomerUpdate. Have I understood correctly what your suggestion is?

I've misread this. That's when the GA will execute, not what executing will do. I'm searching on how to use the GA to cause a TicketCustomerUpdate event to be triggered for the matched ticket. -- ----------------------------------------------- - Nick Bright - - Vice President of Technology - - Valnet -=- We Connect You -=- - - Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 / Fax 620-331-0789 - - Web http://www.valnet.net/ - ----------------------------------------------- - Are your files safe? - - Valnet Vault - Secure Cloud Backup - - More information & 30 day free trial at - - http://www.valnet.net/services/valnet-vault - ----------------------------------------------- This email message and any attachments are intended solely for the use of the addressees hereof.

You have to make something happen on the ticket to trigger the event you
want, for example add a note, change queue, whatever works so you capture
that event to trigger the dynamic_field update.

So, I could change the Event list for the DynamicUpdate to include "ArticleUpdate", then use the Generic Agent to "Add Note" to the ticket? A note should be an article.... but this didn't seem to work. -- ----------------------------------------------- - Nick Bright - - Vice President of Technology - - Valnet -=- We Connect You -=- - - Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 / Fax 620-331-0789 - - Web http://www.valnet.net/ - ----------------------------------------------- - Are your files safe? - - Valnet Vault - Secure Cloud Backup - - More information & 30 day free trial at - - http://www.valnet.net/services/valnet-vault - ----------------------------------------------- This email message and any attachments are intended solely for the use of the addressees hereof.

That should work, I believe it is not ArticleUpdate but ArticleCreate when
you add a note.
