NAME RT-Extension-CreateByProblemType - Choose from Problem Types rather than Queues for new tickets SYNOPSIS This extension modifies the "Create a ticket in..." drop-down on RT's main page; instead of presenting a list of queue names, it instead presents a list of problem types, and dispatches to the appropriate queue. It does this by inspecting the "Problem Type" custom field on each queue, which should be of type "Select one value." For each queue, all possible values for this custom field will be added to the drop-down, categorized under the queue name. If a queue has no "Problem Type" custom field, or the custom field has no possible values, the queue name will appear instead. This is a user-configurable option; advanced users may prefer to revert to the simple queue name drop-down. This preference appears under the "General" header in user preferences, as "Create tickets by selecting a problem type, not a queue."
