Set Product Category on ticket creation

[paul_creedy]

I have a need to set the Product Category and sub category on the creation of a tick through automation.

The general process is "If ticket is {some condition} then set some fields"

I'm already doing this successfully in some circumstances but I also need to set the Product category and sub category field values.

Those files are missing from the automation pick list so I'm hoping I can set it using the Advance json option below it.  However I have no clue how to do this?

If it's possible could someone tell me what JSON I need to use to set the Product Category and Product sub category field please?

Many thanks.

Hi @paul_creedy 

Does the  Product Category field is a Casacade type?

Best regards

Yes, it's a two level cascade where the second option changes depending on what you previously selected.

However in the case of automation I know exactly what those two items will be in each case.

I'm looking for keywords in the ticket to set the product category in some common scenarios such as emails from our monitoring systems.

I'm already doing this for affected services/components etc but can't do it with Product category.

HI @paul_creedy 

Try using the following in the "Additional fields" section of the Edit action.

{
"fields": {
"Field_Name" : { "value": "Parent_Value", "child": { "value" : "Child_Value"} }
}
}

Best regards

Thank you. I'll give that a try.

Many thanks

My initial tests show that seems to work.

THANK  YOU!!
