Difference Between Update Ticket ID and Ticket ID

Learn the difference between Update ticket ID and Ticket ID in Zendesk's Updates history dataset, especially regarding deleted tickets.

What is the difference between Update ticket ID and Ticket ID in Zendesk's Updates history dataset?

The key difference between Update ticket ID and Ticket ID in Zendesk's Updates history dataset is how they handle deleted tickets. Update ticket ID includes deleted tickets in the results, while Ticket ID does not.

This distinction is important when reporting on ticket deletions. The Updates history dataset allows you to include deleted tickets in your reports, which is not possible with the Tickets dataset. If you add any ticket-level attribute to an Updates history report, it will exclude all deleted tickets unless you use the Update ticket ID attribute. For more details, you can refer to theoriginal article.
