Using Custom Fields for Zendesk Ticket Assignments
Can I use custom fields to manage ticket assignments in Zendesk?
While custom fields can be used in Zendesk, they are not as flexible as system fields for managing ticket assignments. Some users suggest adding a secondary assignee as a system field for better management.
Custom fields can help in organizing information, but they may not provide the same level of functionality as system fields. For more advanced assignment needs, consider using groups or providing feedback to Zendesk for potential feature enhancements.
