I can’t figure out how to search for a field (specifically, “SLA”) that is
unset:
Tickets that are emailed to our helpdesk are inserted into a "Helpdesk"
queue and from there an operator reviews the content and then assigns the
ticket to the relevant queue.
The “Helpdesk” queue does not have an SLA assigned to it, but the
downstream queues do. What’s been happening, though, is that tickets
transferred from “Helpdesk” to “Queue1” (not it’s real name) aren’t picking
up the SLA default setting. Instead, the SLA field is unset.
If I search for tickets with SLA = ‘STANDARD’ I get results showing tickets
that have that SLA value.
If I search for tickets with SLA != ‘STANDARD’ I only get tickets that have
the SLA field set (URGENT or CRITICAL, for example). But I don’t get the
hundreds of tickets that don’t have the SLA field set at all.
Does anyone know the syntax to use to search for a field that is unset?
What do you get if you search for SLA = ‘’ ?On 1/31/17 10:55 PM, Chris McClement wrote:

More detail if running on 4.4.1:
SLA = ‘’ # tickets where SLA was unset from a previous value
SLA is NULL # never had an SLA set
So this may be what you want: SLA is NULL OR SLA = ''On 2/1/17 12:06 PM, Jim Brandt wrote:

… you can search for
tickets with empty CF values using the Advanced editing option of a
Search:
‘CF.{bar}’ is null
In reply to a question about searching CF.{bar}
Maybe you can do something similar.

SLA IS NULL ← that worked.
Following from this: I want to do a bulk update to set an SLA for these
calls. However the bulk update page doesn’t include any SLA fields. Any
ideas how I would go about setting the SLA on these calls (other than
manual, I have about 150 tickets that need this changed)?On Thu, 2 Feb 2017 at 06:28 Jeffrey Pilant jeffrey.pilant.ext@bayer.com wrote:
