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
