Customizing Drop-Down Values for Agents and Users

Learn about the limitations of customizing drop-down values for agents and end-users in Zendesk.

Is it possible to display different drop-down values for agents and end-users in Zendesk?

Currently, Zendesk does not support displaying different drop-down values for agents and end-users. The values remain the same for both, although the title can differ. This means that while you can customize the title to provide more context, the actual values seen by agents and end-users will be identical.

If you need to provide additional information to agents, consider including it in the title or using other fields to convey the necessary details.
