We are new to iiQ and have the following scenario:
IT needs a new port set up in a classroom and Facilities has to go in and run the cables and set up the physical port on the wall.
So in our workflow we would have an IT ticket to do the work and then a sub ticket for Facilities. I have created a rule to allow this to be automatically generated in Facilities when we need a new port, but I cannot get the Location to populate based on the parent ticket in IT...the location HAS to be already specified in the Facilities ticket or based on who is requesting it or who it is for, which in this case is none of the above. I just want it based on the parent ticket location chosen.
How can I do this? Is there a workaround using a webhook to come back around through the API and update the Facilities ticket with the correct Location? If so, what’s the code look like? I am assuming when the webhook hits the Facilities ticket # is already available and the location is available as data from the parent.
I DO NOT want to create rules for each location since this applies to more than just ports and I do not want to duplicate effort 100x. I also do not really want to create a generic user with a specific location to use for things like this, and I don’t really want to have the extra step of going in and changing the Location in the Facilities ticket as realistically I shouldn’t have that access. This missing functionality seems to be a bit of an oversite as it likely should have been the original option for specifying the Location via a rule over the Requestor and For’s options. :/
