Summary:  Allow bulk action (i.e. ticket updates) to search results.

Example: I need to find all the tickets from any time whose Subject Line begins with “new client” and then bulk update their Cat>SubCat>Item to the new value I created recently.

On the Search field, I type in “new client” and filter on Tickets in results.

Then I further filter the results to be only from the Requester = my API agent (SMART Sentinel).

But there is no action available after “finding” these tickets - I cannot take a bulk action on these tickets - there’s no way for me to “transfer” the search back to the Ticket View so I can take the bulk action.

 

Thanks for considering!  :-)

@BrynCYDEF Yes!!! It would be nice if Subject was also added to the list of filters for ticket views. To solve your usecase in the interim, you could write a script and the freshservice API to get all the tickets you need and update their categorization values.

This is a critical update for our company. I didn’t even think to check for this functionality when we were shopping for a new ticketing system since it seems so obvious.

YES!
I want to write a script and use the API to take the results from a ticket search
and update a field.
I’d like to search by Subject and update the Tag field.

Any help would be appreciated.

What would be the basic structure of a script like that?
