Gerald was right (as usual!).  Confusion between State and StateType.

The documentation and text within SysConfig itself could be clearer here I 
feel.  The title of the variable reads as StateType, the text refers to State.  
The lack of consistency had me putting in State as StateType, obviously 
generating zero matches and thereby delivering an empty dropdown box.

Onto the next challenge…

Cheers

Rob.

Hello Rob, notice that you can define the state types for each screen you are 
going to use, so look at the ViewXXX Screen in the section of Available 
StateType and check that your states are of the required statetypes, if not you 
can add them there.
For example thare are different state type available for screens like 
ViewEmailNewo or ViewPhoneNew or ViewNote, etc
Best Regards.

Definitely States and no changes to the default state types.  No ACLs are 
defined.  The lists I see and edited are all states as well, not state types.

Be cognizant of the difference between State *types* and states. Also check if 
you have ACLs in place.

Moving on from my last problems, I now have a new challenge that is causing me 
to pull my hair out.  I have defined via the GUI a whole set of new ticket 
states (8 in total) and set to invalid all the default states (except new).  I 
have gone through sysconfig and looked at everywhere that ‘state’ shows up, 
there are a bunch of places that list a set of states that are available as 
‘next states’ on tickets, and I’ve filled those in with all my new states.

Nowhere that a drop down list appears to select the ‘next state’ are my custom 
states presented.  In most cases, due I guess to the above changes to mark 
invalid the default states, the dropdown lists are empty.

I have also reconfigured the priorities, renaming the existing ones.  In most 
cases, the new names are not reflected in drop down lists.

I’d love some guidance on where the config went wrong, or what I can present to 
the group to assist in getting this working properly.


Cheers


Rob.
