Stop User Tag Overwriting by Organization Tag in Zendesk
How can I stop a user tag from being overwritten by an organization tag?
To stop a user tag from being overwritten by an organization tag, use different tags for organizations and users in custom fields. This issue arises from a race condition when both tags have the same values and the custom field value isn't selected.
By ensuring that your tags are distinct for organizations and users, you can avoid the race condition that leads to one tag overwriting the other. This simple change can help maintain the integrity of your tags in Zendesk.
