Preventing Custom Priority Fields in Follow-up Tickets

Learn how to manage custom priority fields in follow-up tickets using triggers in Zendesk.

Can I prevent custom priority fields from appearing in follow-up tickets?

Unfortunately, there isn't a native way to prevent custom priority fields from appearing in follow-up tickets in Zendesk. However, you can use a workaround by creating a trigger that removes the tags associated with these fields in follow-up tickets.

This method involves setting up a trigger that automatically clears the custom priority tags when a follow-up ticket is created. While not a perfect solution, it helps maintain consistency in how priority values are managed across new and follow-up tickets.
