Impact of Managing Ticket Fields in Zendesk

Learn about the effects of creating, deactivating, or deleting ticket fields in Zendesk.

What happens when I create, deactivate, or delete ticket fields?

Creating, deactivating, or deleting ticket fields in Zendesk can have various impacts on your tickets. When you create a new field, it becomes available for use in tickets and forms. Deactivating a field means it will no longer appear in new tickets, but existing tickets with that field will retain the data. Deleting a field removes it entirely, and any data associated with it will be lost.

Understanding these impacts is crucial for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that your support team has access to all necessary information.
