Process Tickets - prepend child ticket subjects?
I am creating some employee forms (New employee, exiting employee, etc) as tickets which the IT department will convert into processes once received so they will automatically generate a bunch of child tickets - these tickets will represent all the different tasks that need to be done. I figured that part out, no problem. The problem started once I had converted more than one of the tickets into processes - there are multiple sets of child processes but there's no way to know which child belongs to which parent until you open each of them up to see who the parent is.
Is there some way to use a rule or something to prepend the child subjects with the name of the parent ticket?

Yes you will need to do this by using a ticket rule to copy the parent ticket title to any child tickets. There is plenty of information to get you started within ITNinja for example try this response

I had found that article and I agree that would get me started... if I was familiar enough with this product which I unfortunately am not. I have no idea how to change the SQL to affect the change that I would like - the examples are for assets and custom fields. Has anyone on here setup specifically what I'm looking to do here? - psagert 5 years ago
Here is some SQL taken from a recent project of ours, it is a bit over the top, but you can cut down the text and see if it works
