Our Request Tracker works for users in many countries, which are all assigned to areas. There is an IT administrator for each area, which should be added to the CC list for the request that is from one of the countries in his/her area.
We have created a custom field, and used the category to group the countries by areas.
We needed a scrip with an action that needs to know the category of the currently selected value of a custom field.
