so which state it should be moved to?
When an incident is created by default it's always in New
Why to change this behavior?
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @gautamvarma
I'm not facing this issue in my PDI. So it seems to be a customization.
Please check for the BRs created on the Incident table with the conditon "Parent Incident Changes & not empty"
Regards,
Siva

Hi @gautamvarma
This is expected behavior. You are copying an incident, not creating a child incident. When you copy an incident from another, it only carries over a few fields and does not include the state. It wouldn't make sense to copy the state of the parent to the child, as the purpose of the child ticket might be different. Please check the properties.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.
