Why Drop-Down Fields Change with Tags in Zendesk

Learn why drop-down fields in Zendesk change when tags are added. Understand the link between drop-down values and tags for efficient ticket management.

Why does the drop-down field in Zendesk change when I add a tag?

The drop-down field in Zendesk changes when a tag is added because each value in the drop-down is linked to a specific tag. When you select a value in a ticket, the corresponding tag is automatically added.

If you manually add a tag to a ticket, the drop-down field will update to reflect the value associated with that tag, provided the tag is part of the item list. This feature streamlines ticket management by ensuring that drop-down fields are automatically updated based on the tags present. For more details, you can check out the originalZendesk article.
