Set default ‘Next ticket state’ on reply or Send

In this article you will learn how to configure your OTRS, Znuny or OTOBO instance for your default Next ticket state. It depends from which screen or operation you come from and thus the configuration is not very clean and clear. Read on to learn more

Screens for answer, forwarding and sending new tickets

In the screen, which is getting displayed after you click on Reply or Reply All you see typically this screen:

The next state on Ticket compose in Znuny, OTRS and OTOBO
The Ticket Compose or Forward screen on reply, reply all or forward

and your URL contains one of those:

Action=AgentTicketCompose (ticket reply, reply all)
Action=AgentTicketForward (ticket forward)
Action=AgentTicketEmailOutbound (ticket e-mail outbound)
Action=AgentTicketEmail (new ticket)

The screens look all nearly the same. So not all screens are provided here as screenshots.

A good practice here is to set it to a reasonable Pending state or to close the ticket here. But it really depends on your business. And if this is not clear we may offer consultancy here to help you to build a very good business process template for your team!
