Sorry I forgot to add -

I'm not sure if the versions will make any difference in regards to this question, \
but I'm running RT 4.2.2 on Ubuntu 13.10 with MySQL 5.5.34 and Sphinx 2.1.3

Thanks,
Brent

Subject: [rt-users] Numeric custom field values

Hi.

I have some custom fields to track numeric priority independent of the built-in \
priority field.

This is an example of a search string I use:  Queue = 'helpdesk' AND 'CF.{Helpdesk \
Priority}' > 15 But this returns tickets where CF.{Helpdesk Priority} is set to 2
That leads me to believe that the operation being preformed is a string comparison \
(where 2 is indeed greater than 15), versus a numeric one.

So my question is:  is there a proper syntax to use in the search builder to treat \
those custom field values as numeric?

Thanks!
Brent
