Hi, if this is still an issue I can give this a go!

Hello! I want to contribute, what should I do?

from bot.

If you think you know how to do this well you can submit a PR with your solution. The bot still needs to set channel permissions, but not completely delete the permissions that would otherwise be inherited from the category channel.

Thanks :)

Better explanation in PR #58 comment:

That's not quite what I meant... although to be fair I didn't explain it brilliantly before. The bot still needs to ensure that those overwrites are set but whilst respecting other permissions from the parent category. So the channel should be created with the same overwrites as the category, which should allow the bot and staff, and disallow everyone, but the new channel should be edited after creation to add allow permissions for the ticket creator. If the category doesn't already have the required overwrites it should be modified to set them, but without removing existing overwrites for other permissions/members/roles.

Example:

* Category allows admins and staff and disallows everyone

* Before the ticket is created the bot checks the category permissions. The bot doesn't have read and write permissions so updates the category

* The bot creates the new channel without any overwrites, so it inherits the permissions from the category

* The bot edits the new channel so the ticket creator can read and write (and read history, upload files etc)

Also, any change made to ticket creation in src/commands/new.js also needs to be updated in src/events/messageReactionAdd.js.
