Mapping Subsidiaries to Customers

[Colby Cliffe]

We need to map customers to their subsidiaries, so that we can provide visibility on where our tickets are coming from.

The goal is to have a ticket come in with a prepopulated field that ties that user to their subsidiary. We'd want to be able to report on it in a way that we could say "This month, 20 tickets came from sub 1, 30 from sub 2, 19 from sub 3, etc."

Is this possible?

Hi @Colby Cliffe 

Where are the subsidiaries being kept?

Are you able to use organizations for this, or is that already in use?

Or, perhaps consider using customer detail fields?

@Colby Cliffe -

I agreed with what @Ste Wright suggestion on using Organizations or customer details to fulfill your ask.

One other option will be creating custom field with possible dropdown list predefined, and use automation setup triggered off from issue created event and then edit the issue to the appropriate value for the custom field.

Automation for Jira reference - https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-cloud-automation/

Hope this also helps.
