Understanding Conditional Ticket Field Settings in Zendesk

Learn about the different options for setting conditional ticket field requirements in Zendesk.

What are the options for conditional ticket field requirement settings?

In Zendesk, conditional ticket field requirement settings can be adjusted on the Forms page when creating or editing a ticket form. You can specify when a field is required using the 'Required' drop-down list. Options include 'Always', which makes the field required regardless of ticket status, and 'Never', which clears all ticket statuses. You can also select specific statuses like 'New', 'Open', 'Pending', 'On-hold', and 'Solved' to make the field required only when the ticket is in that status.

These settings allow for flexibility in how and when fields are required, ensuring that the necessary information is collected at the appropriate time.
