Filters Not Working for Deleted Tickets in Zendesk

Understand why filters or fields might not work for deleted tickets in your Zendesk report and how to resolve this issue.

Why aren't filters or fields working for deleted tickets in my report?

Filters or fields like ticket ID and tags may not work for deleted tickets because permanently deleted tickets have all user-submitted content scrubbed.

This means that once a ticket is permanently deleted, its associated data cannot be reported via Explore. Ensure your report setup is correct and consider contacting Zendesk support for further guidance if needed.
