change the default technician to "not set" when an agent submits an incident instead of themselves

You have the option to set a default assignee based on the category or subcategory in the categories settings under the service desk menu, as shown in the screenshot. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the question. That is already setup and functioning correctly when a USER submits the incident. The issue is when a TECHNICIAN/ AGENT submits an incident, the default assignment is the technician submitting the incident rather than following the assignment per the category/ subcategory. The only way it follows the assignment per the category, is if the technician submitting the incident remembers to change the "Assigned To" field to "Not Set". I would like to know if there is a way for it to default to "Not Set". 

Hi rgrass , currently there is not an option to have the default assignee be {{Not Set}} when creating an incident in the platform view. We recommend opening up a feature request for this so we can track the ask with the rest of the community and we can take it into consideration along with all the other asks.
