Resolving Unexpected Required Field Alerts in Zendesk
How can I resolve unexpected alerts about required fields in Zendesk?
Unexpected alerts about required fields in Zendesk can occur when a field becomes required due to default ticket behavior, even if it wasn't initially marked as required. This can happen if a ticket's status changes or if system ticket rules apply. To resolve these alerts, review the system ticket rules to understand how they might be affecting your ticket fields.
For example, if a conditional field is required 'When Open', you might see an alert when trying to submit a ticket as 'New' if the required field wasn't filled out. Understanding these rules can help you troubleshoot and adjust your settings accordingly.
