Changing Assignee for Follow-Up Tickets in Zendesk
Can I change the assignee for a follow-up ticket in Zendesk?
By default, follow-up tickets in Zendesk do not retain the assignee from the original ticket. However, you can create a workflow using triggers and tags to assign follow-up tickets to the original ticket's assignee.
This involves tagging tickets based on the group or assignee when the original ticket is still open. Once a follow-up ticket is created, it inherits these tags, allowing you to route it back to the original handler. This method requires some setup but can help maintain continuity in ticket management.
