Automating Field Population for Child Tickets in Zendesk

Learn how to automate field population for child tickets in Zendesk using triggers and manual edits.

Can I automate field population when creating a child ticket in Zendesk?

While you can't directly populate fields like forms and custom fields when creating a child ticket, there are workarounds.

You can set up triggers to automatically fill in ticket information based on specific keywords in the child ticket. For instance, a trigger could change the ticket form if the subject contains certain text. Alternatively, you can manually edit the child ticket after creation to ensure accuracy. This approach helps maintain a solid and scalable workflow, especially for sensitive projects.
