Need Option for Long Note that "Clogs" Up Ticket

A user added a “Public Note” with a code block that is almost 16,500 rows, and the only way to see notes/emails below it is to manually scroll through the entire 16,500 rows, because Page Down and End keys don’t work, there is no scrollbar to drag, and I see no way to collapse the note.

 

I tried “Split Ticket,” but it didn’t remove this note from the ticket - only copied it to a new ticket.

 

Is there another way to deal with a note like this so that someone can easily see older emails in the ticket?

 

Thank you!

Hi ​@mnolansd ,

Thank you for bringing this up. 

To address the issue of a very large public note with 16,500 rows blocking access to older emails in the ticket:
1. Collapsing the Note: Unfortunately, the Freshdesk interface does not currently provide a default option to collapse large public notes in tickets. This behavior limits navigation when dealing with such extensive inputs.
2. Use API or Export Functionality: As an alternative, you can use the Freshdesk API to retrieve the ticket and its associated notes programmatically. By doing so, you can extract the content of the ticket, including the specific large note, and view it externally without affecting navigation within the UI.
3. Manually Remove the Content: If the public note's content is no longer needed in the ticket, an agent with the appropriate permissions can edit or delete the note. This will reduce the clutter and allow easier navigation to previous emails.
4. Raise an Enhancement Request: If this is a recurring issue, raising an enhancement request for a feature to collapse public notes or scroll past them more effectively could be considered.

For now, leveraging the API or editing the note to remove unnecessary content are likely the most immediate and effective solutions.

Please do let me. know if you require any further assistance on this matter.
