Custom Ticket Rule to Change Owner Problem
I have an issue when running a custom ticket rule to change the owner on ticket save. If the user is of the department Commercial Operations, I send the ticket to Technician1. IF the user is not of this particular department, the rule doesn't run and the default owner of ticket is assigned.
The department field is a textbox that is populated on ticket save (grabs the LDAP custom field that was imported).
Department rule is Order 5; Owner rule is Order 10.
What I am seeing:
Administrator submits ticket on behalf of user - ticket rules perform job correctly (admin is connected to server through https://k1000/admin)
User submits ticket for themselves - ticket rules run, but owner change has a severe 'lag'. This lag causes the default owner to be notified. Technician1 never receives a notification even though they are the new ticket owner. Of course they will be notified on an escalation event.
What would be a solution to this issue? Am I going about this wrong?
Thanks!

Please post the SQL statements for the select and update operations of the rule that isn't working. - chucksteel 8 years ago

Hopefully I did that somewhat correctly... - dsykes 8 years ago

I have found a solution to part of the issue, by running two rules and using a field that changes on save, I can get the correct owner assigned. Now the only issue I have is the incorrect emails that are sent. The owner is determined on save, but the default owner is notified instead... - dsykes 8 years ago

Did you ever get a better solution? Which "email on events" settings do you have checked in the queue? Can you post the CTRs, their order, and their run interval? - JasonEgg 8 years ago

I contacted support. I was advised that when using custom rules the email function is changed, due to the email functionality built into the rules. I had to create rules for each owner to assign the right category to the correct owner and send an email confirmation. Not the best solution, but a working one. - dsykes 8 years ago
