We really need a progress update on workflow based custom statuses. It's really sloppy for larger organizations that have multiple, unique teams using Zendesk. We are losing promoters of zendesk internally, and this is one of the many pain points.

Is there a max number of custom statuses that can be set? Also curious if there is any plans on implementing the ability to delete custom statuses in the future or if that needs to be a request? Thanks for the information.

Hello Alex,
 
You can have up to 100 custom ticket statuses, but we recommend that you limit the number of active ticket statuses in your account to keep things manageable.
 
In regard to the custom status deletion option, our Product Team is looking for this feature to be implemented later in Q4.

Hi,

May I custom statuses for a specific group?

Hi Oanh,
 
Are you referring to enabling the custom ticket statuses for a specific group only? If the answer is yes, unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment. When you enable custom ticket statuses, this will be activated for the whole account.
 
Best,
Paolo | Technical Support Engineer | Zendesk

is there a way to create a report that shows the full resolution time of (solved)tickets over a selected time-period, and the time these tickets were assigned to another group? I've created a custom status "waiting for group" and assigned it to the "open category". Ideally, it would show the full resolution time, and the time the other group spent on the ticket, next to it.

Our team has just started using this feature as of this week, and so far it's really nice! 

It would be even more helpful if trigger actions could modify to a custom ticket status as well instead of just to Status Category. 

Alternatively, it would be nice to have custom Status Categories that exist greater than New and less than Solved, especially with customizable colors and traits. 

Thank you, devs!

It's not possible to reorder the ticket statuses at this time. If you'd like, you can share your feedback in our Product Feedback discussion. Product managers regularly review suggestions submitted in this forum for consideration in our future updates!

Hello,

 While Custom status is a great newer feature. It seems to have lacked a lot of forethought based on all the comments I needed to read to see if my initial question was answered, which is, can I add Custom Status to a view? Which, if I am not mistaken is a big resounding NO. Please correct me if I am wrong and high five me if I am right as i diligently read the entire article to see if I could get my answer...

É possível fazer uma condicional, por exemplo, deixar alguns status personalizados para um grupo de agentes e outros status para outro grupo?

Hello Mark,
 
Custom ticket status can be added as a column in your view. The column name Ticket status will show either the system status or custom status selected in the submit button in the ticket like in the image below:

Olá Bianca,
 
No momento, não é possível criar diferentes status personalizados por grupo. Todos os status personalizados criados na conta ficarão visíveis para uso de todos os agentes.
 
Dei uma olhada e descobri que outros usuários estão discutindo necessidades semelhantes aqui:

Closed status should definitely be brought back. It is really inconvenient to see closed tickets as solved.

Hi! This feature is excellent. However, I have a question. When my agents click to submit a ticket, the list is SO LONG now with all the custom statuses. Most of these are applied based on triggers and macros. Is it possible to hide these from the standard "submit" button? When submitting a ticket without using a macro, we usually need to see only PENDING or SOLVED. Thank you!

Hi Sophie!
 
The custom ticket statuses will always show in the ticket status list, the macro is the best way to auto set the correct status.

Sophie Blake  Im pretty sure there are plans to give users the ability to group these statuses so that you can restrict the access to individual statuses  based on a criteria (such as groups,roles).  When, I do not know.

Hi Mike DR Thank you for the response! That is a bummer. As mentioned above, are there any plans to have these statuses hidden even like how we can currently group the macros so that we do not see the whole long list?

Hi Sophie!
 
You're most welcome! As of now we don't have an ETA like Bill mentioned but we will keep you updated once it has been added to the road map.

Is it expected to not be able to group by Ticket Status in views after activating this? It seems you can only group by status category?

Hi Jake,
 
When you activate custom ticket statuses, the ticket status conditions and actions in your existing triggers, automations, macros, and views are automatically updated from Ticket: Status to Ticket: Status Category. The Ticket: Status Category condition and action uses the default ticket status of the status category, where applicable.

This feature turned itself ON, without actually being activated… 

HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP!!! THIS FEATURE IS TRASH!

Is there an ability to change custom ticket status Colors?  

 

I am curious to know if Accessibility considerations were made with the color choices and gradations, as I've gotten reports that the white font on the yellow color (within the ticket agent view) is not legible to some users.

 

There should be a straightforward way for admins to edit the colors at the level of the Status Categories if custom statuses are enabled, otherwise Status configuration.

We are a large international organization using Zendesk across multiple countries and groups. We have to have additional features with the Custom Status to include: Multiple color options, the ability to rearrange the statuses by form and show the status instead of the status category in outbound email communications, and the customer help center form.
