Tickets keep an audit trail so you can answer “what changed, who changed it, and when?” without reading the whole thread.

Field and attribute history

Creating or updating a ticket writes property history when a tracked value actually changes. Tracked examples:
  • Title, description, summary
  • Type, source, priority
  • Customer, assignee, assigned team, owner, owner team
  • Linked origin conversation
  • Parent / merged / split relationships
  • First response, resolved, closed, snooze, activity timestamps
  • Shared flag
  • Custom attribute values (order ID, lists, and so on)
Unchanged values are skipped. Empty or false defaults are skipped on create so opening a ticket does not flood history with blanks. Custom attribute edits also log old value → new value per field, including when a conditional field is cleared.

Status history

Each status move stores:
  • Previous status and new status
  • Who moved it
  • Time in previous status, in seconds
Use this to see whether tickets stall in waiting-on-customer or on-hold. The first status (on create) is logged as entering the default in-progress status with no “from” status.

Disposition history

Disposition changes use from → to semantics, including clearing a code. Path snapshots keep the breadcrumb readable after codes are renamed. See Dispositions.

Conversation and group snapshots

Attaching or detaching conversations or tracker members writes a snapshot of the full set (conversation IDs or #ticket numbers), not only the one row you clicked. That makes it obvious what the ticket was linked to before and after.

Workspace audit log

Creating, updating, cloning, and archiving types and statuses also appear in workspace audit logs as ticket type or ticket status events. Applying a disposition on a ticket is a ticket update. It does not write a separate settings audit row.

How to read history on a ticket

Open the ticket and scroll to:
  • Attribute history — field and custom attribute diffs
  • Disposition log — code changes
  • Status changes — dwell time between states
Read history when a customer asks why the ticket sat for two days, or when QA checks that required-to-close fields were filled before resolve.
