Has there been any changes to the SDK that impacts this app? We are seeing the following issue starting Monday.

Issue 1: The app takes a long time to reflect when the Form is updated. If Form A has multiple mandatory fields and Form B has none, the app shows an error for Form A after changing to Form B.

Issue 2: Throws an error around null and map frequently.

Hi Mike,

This is one of the issues I reported earlier. This is annoying. We have raised a support case no progress yet.

Can someone from Zendesk prioritize this? This is very annoying.

I would like to hide specific groups in the Assignee field from some groups.

We have two brands and have some brand-specific groups set up. We have some agents (usually new agents still learning things) in one brand that do need to work with the second brand and would like to hide those brand-specific groups so tickets do not get sent to the wrong group on accident. I have attempted to use this app to hide the groups from the assignee field, it seems like it should work because that field is a drop-down and not a multi-select. What I don't know what are the tags for the different groups? I have tried several things similar to the group names with no success. Is what I am trying to do even possible?

I have put this under the "Hide dropdown form options" section:

[{"name": "assignee", "value": "group_name"}]

Dane did you ever figure out the error that states cannot read properties of null (reading 'map')

Could we get an update on the message that Bill raised?
https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408893441818/comments/4488958657690

We have started facing the same issue:

"Cannot read properties of null (reading 'map')"

0


The issue only occurred for us so far in one very specific circumstance and eventually went away on its own. Never did determine why it occurred.

Hello

We are still experiencing this.

Dane is there a root cause, fix for this?

Very annoying issue.

Thank you

what if i just want to hide field only for 1 group?

while the group that I have is 100 groups.

do I have to do a list for "allow hide group for" 99 groups?

is it not possible if only to hide the field for 1 group? not to grant access to 99 groups

 

thanks

Hi Ariya, 
 
While I know it's not the best course of action to list the 99 groups who has access to the field, I'm afraid a Hide group field is not available at this time. However, I do agree that it would be a nice feature to have, and I'm happy to pass your feedback to our Voice of the Customer team for further discussion. Please feel free to let me know if I can help with anything else!

Hi,

We only want to show a custom field when the ticket status is Solved.  Is this possible to configure using this app?

Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian, 
 
That can be configured natively with the use of the conditional ticket fields feature. 
 
You can create conditional ticket fields to control the appearance and behavior of ticket fields in ticket forms. For example, you can limit the number of ticket fields that appear in ticket forms, and control the sequence in which ticket fields are presented to end users.
 
More information can be found here: Creating conditional ticket fields

Hi @... - thanks for your reply.  We already knew about this feature, but unfortunately "ticket status" is not available in the list of fields within the conditional ticket field feature.  This is why we are trying to find alternative ways to do this.

I have also reached out to Zendesk support and they have suggested a workaround, but it involves a lot of effort for something that seems quite straight-forward so we're still deciding if we want to implement it

Is it possible to control the fields seen by the end user? I want a drop-down box to be read-only in the end user's view. Can it be controlled

Hi Qiang,
 
The app is used for administrators to quickly hide, require, or make read-only certain ticket fields in the agent interface. Meaning, this would only affect agents and won't be an available feature for end-users. Reference in the app description here

We do have a native feature that can set a specific field as read-only for end-users. Please refer to the instructions here, specifically item number 5.
 
Best,

Has anyone run into an issue where certain users do not see the Ticket Field Manger settings? We're running into an issue where some of our agents are not see the fields as read-only or are seeing fields defined as hidden fields, while others are working correctly. What complicates the issue is this is only happening on our Sandbox. Everyone is working fine in the Production environment. I deleted the App from Sandbox and reinstalled it, but still spotty for some agents. Thoughts?

Is it only possible to hide the problem dropdown option from the type field?  

When I use 

 [{"name": "type", "value": "problem"},

The value problem goes away but when I use;

[{"name": "type", "value": "problem"}],
[{"name": "type", "value": "question"}],
[{"name": "type", "value": "incident"}]

The JSON does not work as i would expect it to.

Hi Axel Mora

try this code:

1.  When you have more than 1 value to hide:

[{"name": "type", "value": "problem"},

{"name": "type", "value": "incident"},

{"name": "type", "value": "question"}]

 

2. When you only want to hide one value:

[{"name": "type", "value": "problem"}]

Neil Gloudemans did you ever find a solution for this problem?

 

We have the same issue over here and I can't seem to fix it.

That JSON worked. Thanks!!

Paxton Cooper Idea to move this app into the core product.  This functionality should be built into the field manager functions in the Admin panel

Does this app support custom ticket statuses?

I'm trying to hide a specific status from humans selecting, under the "Hide dropdown form options" I'm using:

[{"name": "custom_status_id", "value": "23115822598036"}]

But the custom ticket status is still showing.

Hi jvon,

May I confirm if you are trying to hide a value in a custom drop-down status field you created? 
At present, it's not possible to hide a system ticket status (found in Admin Center > Tickets > Status) via the ticket field manager app. An option is to create a custom app that would either hide or disable the status using our apps framework using the following logic:

client.invoke('ticketFields:status.optionValues.2.disable')

client.invoke('ticketFields:status.optionValues.2.hide')

Hi Liam,
 
The app is still working. After installing the app, you can access its settings to configure which fields should be hidden, set to read-only, and required.
 

 
You will have options such as: Required Form Fields, Read-Only Form Fields, Allowed Groups for Read-Only Fields, etc.
 

 
After setting everything up according to your business needs, you can click 'Update'.
 
I hope that helps.
 
Cheers,

Hey there,

I want to make these two custom fields required, entered their ID's but it doesn't work. You can submit a ticket  to any status without filling in a value in both
