Why would SLA work incorrectly if reporter is same as assignee?

[Ahmed Shehata]

WHy? Having the same user assigned to both the reporter and assignee roles may cause your SLA to work incorrectly.

Unsure. Are you experiencing this. Can you explain what you are seeing specifically?

[Ahmed Shehata]

i want to understand which level the SLA will be calculated, it can be assigned as an issue property or only as a relation between reporter and Assignee

[Jack]

I’m sorry but I don’t understand your question. Please review this document as a starter to SLAs. https://confluence.atlassian.com/servicedeskcloud/setting-up-slas-732528967.html

they don’t relate to reporter and assignee. SLAs are timers that reflect the commitment to resolve an issue based upon things like priority and leverage a customized calendar that represent you work schedule.

[Ahmed Shehata]

for other service management applications, I can assign SLAs based on the reporter or its location or issue category or Assignee it self 

can i  do that here?

[Jack]

yes you can do that. You should find that info in the documentation but here is an example...

In a related question, what is the expression to exclude from the SLA when the reporter = assignee?

Edit: I created a new question for this. Thanks!
