Usage

Use $self->TransactionObj->Field to get the actual value of the specified type. For example:

<pre>
if ($self->TransactionObj->Type eq "CustomField") {print $self->TransactionObj->Field;}
</pre>

gives you the ID of currently processed CustomField.

Another example of scrip custom condition:

<pre>
# On Create or Queue change
return 0 unless (($self->TransactionObj->Type eq "Create") || ($self->TransactionObj->Type eq "Set" && $self->TransactionObj->Field eq "Queue"));
</pre>
