OLA triggers on every ticket update?

I am trying to make per assignment group OLA to track initial response times across assignment groups. 

 

I made one with the following start conditions:

 

Active=true

Assignment group = my assignment group

Priority=1

Assigned to is anything 

Set start to updated

retroactive start enabled

retroactive pause enabled

When to cancel: When start conditions are not met. 

 

 

Stop conditions: 

Incident state is not new 

Assigned to is not empty

Updated by is same as assigned to.userID

 

 

Flow: 

I create an incident and assign it to my group. OLA shows in progress. 

I assign the ticket to myself and change to in progress. OLA timer stops. 

 

I impersonated a customer and left a comment on the ticket.

New OLA has triggered. 

 

I impersonated my co worker and left a comment on the ticket. 
New OLA triggered. 

 

 

I just want one response OLA per assignment group. 
When a ticket comes to us for the first time, attach an OLA. 

After that, if the customer updates the ticket or the ticket bounces back and forth between me and another group, dont start a new OLA. 


I just want one initial response OLA.

When I get rid of this from the stop condition: Updated by is same as assigned to.userID


Then a new issue is presented: If a customer opens a ticket and assigns the ticket directly to my group and directly to an agent, then no OLA is ever triggered for our group.
