Thought about using the responsible feature than instead of changing the owner ? Can´t judge if it suits your needs, but I would give it a try auto setting tickets in raw queue to a global (team) user, for each different team and moving them to the proper teams queue. Afterwards just set a ticket responsible instead of an owner. This way around you could set up the teams general user to a mailgroup where every involved team agent would also get note about what´s going on. But as said... just an idea :) mit freundlichen Grüßen Studienkreis GmbH Mark Grzella Junior IT-Projektleiter Universitätsstraße 104, 44799 Bochum Tel.: 02 34/97 60 - 404 mgrzella@studienkreis.de www.studienkreis.de AG Bochum HRB 4581 Geschäftsführer: Franz Dahlmanns Bernd Kreissig (Sprecher) Bastian Schmidt-Faber -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] Im Auftrag von Charles Gesendet: Mittwoch, 20.

Hey Charles,

why would you like to change the owner without leaving a note for the new owner?

Manual owner changes should not be done without a comment in my opinion.

Depending on what you are aiming for it could be an option to consider doing an owner change via generic agent instead (which does not need to leave a comment so).

mit freundlichen Gr??en

Studienkreis GmbH Mark Grzella Junior IT-Projektleiter Thanks Mark :-)

We have just started using OTRS so questions about the way we are using it are especially welcome. Our small organisation is non-hierarchical and non-authoritarian; it operates very personally. Although we loosely work in teams, the majority of tickets are obviously for a specific person/agent. The usual business model of having a queue for each team and leaving it to members of each team to take ownership of tickets from the team queue does not fit well with our way of working. Agents working as dispatchers, moving tickets from the Raw queue, typically assign a ticket to a specific agent; the receiving agent knows why that ticket has been assigned to them. Thus, as we understand how to use OTRS to suit our way of working, the "manual change owner note-internal" doesn't add any value and our dispatchers would prefer not to have to complete it. AIUI, the wide variety of tickets does not permit automated owner changes.
