Task Automation - Unable to assign Tasks to the Agent assigned to the parent Ticket
Current state of issue: I have setup a Ticket Template for when we retire a device. We then setup 3 tasks that are created when the ticket is raised. We have 3-4 employees that share the work so we do not want to assign them to a specific person, however it is pointed to the Group, IT. Under the Task option for “Assign to” I have the option for “Event Performing Agent”. However, this immediately assigns the child tasks to the requestor rather than leaving as None until an action is performed on the ticket.
Goal: I want these tasks to be assigned to the agent who self-assigns the parent ticket to themselves. Any advice?

Yes this is the result. Any advice on this?
Hi,
Just to get a better understanding, do you mean that the event “Agent is updated” is not usable?
And using the actions “Assign to Group” (this would be the IT group) and “Assign to Agent” to Event performing agent:
Best regards,
I think this would solve the issue as a subsequent event. I had to break this into two Workflow automators. One that creates 3 tasks upon noticing a ticket in the title of X, this workflow was created under Tickets.
Then I created a second workflow under Tasks, that registers upon the task creation to assign out the tasks based on if the assigned agent (on the ticket) is X then assign Tasks to X. It works but is not scalable if we need to replace an employee name (minimal manual process is okay but not optimal).
If I replace the latter half of the Task Workflow if a second event regarding agent is updated to and from Any, it may correctly register as the event performing agent. I will check back after testing this. However, in my experience with using the Event Performing Agent variable along with multiple events in one Workflow, has not been consistent. which event it registers to. Any advice there?
