Question

Can the ticket field "Source" that is defaulted to Phone be changed to another selection?

I am trying to force a selection for Source. Users leave the default selected, and all the tickets source is phone.  I want to use a business rule to force a selection.  In the ticket form I need to make a custom field “Select” the default, but it seems that phone as default cannot be changed.

Select Source

Add a custom option at the bottom called “Select”

Use the handle (6 dots) and drag it to the top.

Click Done

Click Save

Check Source says “Select” and try creating a new ticket.  You may find you have to move it to the top a couple of times as it seems to not save that sometimes.
