Hi Community,
How do you change the incident state from New to automatically show "In Progress" on incident assignment?
Many thanks

Hi Steve,
In our case we flip the incident status to In progress when assigned_to is filled in not when Assignment group is filled in. If that's the use case you are following then you can use Before update BR with following conditions.
Incident State = new
Assigned to [is not empty]
In the Action tab you can set Action as
Incident State [to] in progress
Please mark this correct & helpful if it answered your question.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
you can have before update BR on incident table with condition as
Assigned to changes or Assignment Group changes and either of them are not empty

Hi,
In Addition,
Try with Actions sections to set state to in Progress directly without using scripting and use Before Update Business Rule.
Check below screenshot
Use Actions Section:
State To In Progress
Please Mark correct/Helpful answer if it help you in any way
Thanks,
Kunal.
