Creating Problem Within an Incident

Hello All,

For the record, we are on Xanadu P3 HF1

 

I have a user that questioned the operation of creating a Problem from the context menu while in an Incident ticket. When you click on "Create Problem" while within an Incident, a message stating that the Problem has been created is displayed and a Problem form is of course presented. This operates much in the same manner as creating a Change from the context menu while in an incident.

 

The user believes this is a bug since it creates a Problem before even saving it. I contend that this is expected behavior.

 

Just looking for some confirmation.

Thank you!

Agreed, you need to manually fill in all the details and then click on Submit or Save. However, in this case, this is the expected behavior.

Hi @LarryFromMD 

 

Yes, this is the expected behavior as all the required fields from the Incident are captured in the Problem record.

Hello and thank you so much for the quick reply. Yes, the fields are captured as expected. This is more about a user (actually a Problem Manager) stating that she doesn't think that it is expected behavior that a ticket is instantly logged and saved when creating a Problem from within an Incident. Compare to creating a Problem manually from the Filter Navigator or from the built-in Problem list where the ticket presented but not saved until the Submit/Save button is clicked. 

Agreed, you need to manually fill in all the details and then click on Submit or Save. However, in this case, this is the expected behavior.
