Service Desk Portal - Change Reporter - Reporter Can't See in Portal

[Brian Parris]

It appears that if we change the reporter for a Jira Service Desk Issue that they still can't see this in their portal.  Has anyone else seen this?

Hey Brian,

Based on your comment "Since we created the ticket on the Service Desk team", I think what might have bitten you is a common thing we see in our own service desk.

The Request Type needs to be set in order for the ticket to show up in the customer portal. A quick way to check this is by looking at the right sidebar on the issue view - check the Service Desk section. If it says No match, you need to set it:

That should solve it for that issue (hopefully that was your issue :) ).

Now, you can fix this in advance for all future issues by setting up an automation rule to catch and set the value. Follow this KB article to do it.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thank you Daniel!  You're a life saver!  That did the trick.

This helped me also - thanks!

This might e the no-brainer answer but:

The fastest/easiest way I'd tell you to troubleshoot this is to look at the permission helper. Have you reviewed for possible service desk access/view issues?

Hi Meg,

The user can see all of their other requests.  Just not the ones we changed the reporter to be that user.

Thanks!

Is it possible that there is such a thing as an internal issue?  Since we created the ticket on the Service Desk team it's not public to Portal Users even if they are marked as reporters or participants?
