K1000 - Autopopulate Department Field on Ticket Save

I seem to be having trouble finding where the SQL field for department is. If I could find out the name of that (error is on the update query S.CUSTOM_VALUE1) I think the selection and update queries are correct.

I saw the trick where you can get the wizard to tell you names of fields but I cant get it to give me the SQL column names.

Selection:
SELECT HD_TICKET.ID AS ID FROM HD_TICKET
JOIN USER S ON (S.ID = HD_TICKET.SUBMITTER_ID)
WHERE HD_TICKET.SUBMITTER_ID <>0

Update:
UPDATE HD_TICKET T
JOIN USER S ON (S.ID = T.SUBMITTER_ID)
SET T.CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE0 = S.CUSTOM_VALUE1 WHERE T.ID=<TICKET_IDS>

Error:

The custom fields for users are no longer in the USER table. As of version 7 they are now in USER_FIELD_VALUE. This update statement should work for you:
update HD_TICKET as T
    set T.CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE0 = (select FIELD_VALUE FROM USER_FIELD_VALUE  where USER_ID = SUBMITTER_ID and FIELD_ID = 1) where 
        T.ID = <TICKET_IDS>;

  • Thanks!
    It seems to be updating the field in the logs. However, when I go to look, it does not seem like it is setting a value to the department field.

    • Have you verified in the database that department is stored in custom field 1? - chucksteel 6 years ago
      • Under the layout ticket fields in queue customization, it is custom_1. I could be connecting two things that are not connected but I was pretty sure that was a way to verify. - tmoyer 6 years ago
      • So that's the field in the ticket layout, what about for the user? - chucksteel 6 years ago
      • How would I go about verifying it for the user?

        I used the wizard and only selected the department field, giving me HD_TICKET.CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE0.

        I'm not sure how to get the name for the other side of it. - tmoyer 6 years ago
      • Open the details for a user, click the link at the top of the page for Customize Additional Fields, this will show the custom user fields. The data that gets populated is setup in the LDAP User Import (Settings, User Authentication, import schedule (the bell icon)). - chucksteel 6 years ago
      • Ah there is the issue....we didnt import the department into a custom field.

        Could a sloppy workaround be setting it to the value of a label? We have everyone labeled with their department name. - tmoyer 6 years ago
      • Yes, that would be possible, although it would require that all of the department labels are in a label group or have a naming scheme such as "Department - whatever" so that the rule can know which label to use (as it is possible/likely that some users will have more than one label). - chucksteel 6 years ago
