Assignee shows all contacts

  • 1.  Assignee shows all contacts

    Posted Feb 18, 2019 04:11 AM

    Hy team,

     

    When we create a new ticket and assign group to that ticket, assignee which is by default selected as reported by vanishes in 14.1 and we are able to select assignee from that group as well as other contact by clicking on search button on assignee.

     

    But when we do same thing in  17.1 its not the same as in 14.1 when we select group it doesn't remove the by default selected assignee which is reported by and also when we click on assignee search it shows all the contacts present in the system instead of showing the members which belong to that group and then after searching shows the all contacts.

     

     

    We are using 17.1 version and this is causing issue

     

    Kindly help me in this matter.

    Please see the final comments on this thread: another behavior in R17.1 in selection group and assignee? where you will find both KB000117906 and a screen shot of the new Options Manager entry allowing 'group_assignee_independent' to be adjusted.  Hope that's what you're looking for.

    Regards,

    James

    Hi Bakhtawar,

     

    I have tested this behavior in house and it seems to be working as per OTB behavior. Below are the steps I have followed to reproduce the behavior, Let me know If I have deviated in any step that you might want to correct me

     

    1. Logged into SDM (17.1 + RU02)

    2. Created a ticket and noted the assignee is already filled with service Desk account

    3. Edit the group filed to add a group - Failed to get a group

    4. Cleared the assignee filed value(empty now).

    5. Selected a required group - Successful

    6. Assignee lookup gave me all the assignees that belonged to that selected Group.

     

    Note: Verified the behavior on 14.1 (Latest RU2 Patch Level) and I see the same exact behavior as in 17.1

    Hi Maheswar,

    Thanks for reply

     

    In 14.1 we dont have to remove the assignee as when i put the group it automatically cleared the assignee field.

    And assignee lookup gave me all the assignee's that belonged to that selected Group and if i want to make any other contact as an assignee we write his name in assignee field and then search it shows me the his name as we can select it as assignee.

    Its not the case in my environment where I am not able to see any analyst list outside the group members selected. What patch level are you with 17.1 environment?

    Have you cleared the cache (pdm_webcache) using the pdm commands? Did you try to reproduce the behavior once again?
