Rule for when requester replies

Our agents wanted a rule / status change when a requester replies to a ticket. I created a custom status “Waiting on Agent” with the workflow stage “In Progress”.

 

I created a rule that should trigger when a requester comments, the status changes to ‘Waiting on Agent”.
However it seems that I can’t get the role to filter out when an agent comments (however, if they select “waiting on requester” it will change the status).

 

I do the help desk, and assign tickets to other agents. So if I commented, it will say “waiting on agent” (which is not what I wanted for the rule).

 

 

 

Here is the original rule I had:

 

 

 

I made a copy changing the status (only close if required steps) and excluding agents instead)

 

 

None of these seem to prevent the rule from triggering when an agent comments. Is there a piece I’m missing in my  rule condition or is this related to the custom status workflow stage “in progress” somehow?

 

Any advice is appreciated!

There’s not currently a way to do this. I’ve requested this in the past - more filters for who left the comment.

This is a need for sure!

I don’t think iiQ can currently “see” the role of the person commenting, just the fact that the comment occurred. I tried setting up something similar, but didn’t have success.
