 It would be really great if we could edit a ticket subject after a user has a) emailed our support desk or b) submitted a ticket through Freshdesk.


Too many times, our clients will enter subjects such as 'HELP!!" or 'Product Not Working!!!" which is really meaningless to our support team.  We would like to be able to edit their original subject to be more descriptive and accurate.


In addition, this edit ticket subject is essential when splitting tickets, as there could be two separate issues in that one ticket, and when you go to split a note or ticket into a new ticket, the subject is still the same as the old ticket.  This is very confusing.

we used to use OTRS as our ticket system. We could change the subject of the ticket and used that feature a lot! We like Freshdesk much more than OTRS, but this feature would be nice to have!


If you click on modify? You can modify all ticket fields, subject too

Thanks for the tip!


I couldn't find any 'Modify' button, but I figured out if you click on the little widget icon, there will be the option to Edit (or Delete) the ticket, which will then take you to a different page where you can edit the subject of the ticket.  Not very intuitive, but the functionality is there. 


Why wouldn't you just have an Edit and Delete button next to the Print | Merge | Close | buttons?  Why is it represented by a little widget icon?  This usually means settings.



@courtney yes, i spoke about  little widget icon.

Your idea  "Edit and Delete button next to the Print | Merge | Close | buttons " is great.

Wauw! didn't know this. 


Thank you for this tip!


I will now unlike this idea because it's already implemented.
