Is there a way currently, or perhaps in a future release, where you are able to set the "ticket type" to a blank option to force the userbase to choose a type? We've recently rolled out the help desk to our small userbase and I'm already seeing a trend where they will simply use the "generic" ticket type that we set as default for every/anything .. just wondering, thanks!

What I did was is to make the default ticket type "New Ticket" and then as part of that, added a custom field that was mandatory to be filled out that I called "Reason for not changing ticket type".  

The problem is that people (one person in particular) put "NA" or "don't need" or some such in there.   

 

I ran a report the other day for this year's tickets that were closed as "new ticket" and we had 158.  145 of those is one person.   He's having fun going through each of them and fixing them individually.   I COULD show him how to do it in bulk, but this way he'll learn.   I hope.

I ended up doing something similar, I made a mandatory field as part of that "general" ticket with a help item to change the type if it's not a general question .. hoping for the best ha
