One workaround would be to use the RT::CustomRole-1 syntax (where 1 is the 
role’s ID) in the ScripAction argument.

I’ve made a ticket for adjusting how the argument parsing works, since you’re 
right, that is a bit limiting:

Two options:

Load the role by name:

my $role = RT::CustomRole->new($CurrentUser);
$role->Load(“TransferOperators”);
$Ticket->RoleGroup($role->GroupType);

or specify the internal ID directly:

$Ticket->RoleGroup(“RT::CustomRole-1”);

This will return an RT::Group object. If you only need email address(es), you 
can use $Ticket->RoleAddresses(“RT::CustomRole-1”) directly.

By the way, we’d love to hear more about how you’re using custom roles :)

Thanks!
