Support for regular expressions in Generic Agent filters
Description:
The Generic Agent does not support regular expressions in the filter section for attributes, just wildcards like * or %. We would like to see an implementation which allows regular expressions to be used in the text fields of the filter section.
Prerequisite:
- Perl knowledge
Nice to have:
- Znuny or OTRS knowledge
Difficulty:
- easy

Support for empty values in Generic Agent filters
Description:
The Generic Agent which is used to perform maintenance and supportive tasks does not support a check for empty values in its filters. We would like see a solution where it is possible to explicitly check for empty values in the filter section.
Prerequisite:
- Perl knowledge
Nice to have:
- Znuny or OTRS knowledge
Difficulty:
- medium

Support for negations in conditions for ticket notifications
Description:
Users of the Znuny service desk have the possibility to create custom notifications. These notifications get triggered by specific conditions. We often get the request that a notification should be triggered if a ticket "does not have" a specific value. This is currently not possible and should be implemented.

- Perl knowledge

- Znuny or OTRS knowledge

Support for inline text modules
Description:
In the Znuny service desk we use CKEditor to create richtext content for emails, notes and replies. We already have an extension which allows to use text modules in a separate widget. We would like to use this as a base for inline text modules. The user should be able to type a special keyword followed by "search keywords" which then get autocompleted to a text module.

- Perl knowledge
- JavaScript knowledge
- HTML and CSS knowledge

Plannable dates for sending emails for tickets
Description:
In the Znuny service desk we send a lot of emails. Sometimes a user would like to send an email for a ticket later at a specific date and time. A user should be able to select a date and time and mark the email for timed delivery. The timed delivery is already technically possible in Znuny but not controllable by the user.

Improved/up-to-date full-text search for tickets (including attachments), FAQ entries and config items

Refactoring of JavaScript code
Description:
The JavaScript code in Znuny is very old and should be brought up to today's standards. Znuny uses its own JavaScript "framework", so keep in mind that a refactoring might not be possible by integrating a popular JavaScript framework or library.
