Merging tickets

Merging tickets

Enable ticket merge
Merge tickets from the Tickets list page
Merge tickets from the Ticket Detail page

If you have a number of related tickets that are still active, instead of managing them separately, you can merge them into a single ticket and manage that one ticket without losing ticket trail of all the merged tickets.

When you merge tickets, you must select a primary ticket. The remaining tickets are automatically archived. All history related to the merged tickets remains unchanged. The ticket history also indicates when a ticket is merged.

You can only merge tickets that exist in the same queue. Tickets belonging to the same queue, but created using different templates can be merged. The fields associated with the primary ticket template are preserved, while the child ticket fields are removed and archived. This feature is only available when ticket archival is enabled.

Service, parent, child, and already merged tickets cannot be merged. Only those tickets without a parent and without a child can be merged.

You can unmerge tickets, as needed. Any users on a ticket's CC list, that are added during the merge process remain on the list if the ticket becomes unmerged.
