Hi,

when an incident state is closed active=true not false and when I want to change active to false manually there are some incidents active  change to false but some incident active  remains true .

how I can solve this problem once the inicdent is closed active = false and how I can correct incidents that are closed and active = true becomes active = false.

Any suggestion and help please.

Thank you.

Okay, here the long way:

(1) Right click on "state" field then "Configure Dictionary":

(2) Scroll down to the Related List "Dictionary Overrides" and select "Incident":

find_real_file.png

 

(3) Find the state value definitions at field "Attributes":

These values are more important than the "Autoclose" Business Rule!

Hi @Maik Skoddow ,

Thank you it works.

Please how can I modify active = false to incidents which are already closed because before using your solution there are a hundred of incidents which are closed but active = true how can i fix that.
